This is another of what we call “conversation starters” in our bookstore. It’s a great entry point for kids — and their grown-ups, too — to learn about differences. Each portrait of a child is explained in facts and straight language, making what could be sensitive topics into approachable conversations. I love how this book normalizes difference and helps give kids (and adults) language to use and grow in their own understanding.
