Possibly one of the most delightful picture books I’ve read this year. Adorable and unpredictable, this is perfect for teaching kids in a fun way that we should always try to give people the benefit of the doubt, even if they’re different from us in more ways than one. When the friendly farmer and his wife stumble across some rather odd folk who need help fixing their car, what else can they do but treat them with hospitality? Later down the line these “humans” will remember the kindness of earth and the farmer and his friends will muse that they were definitely NOT human at all.
We Are Definitely Human by X. Fang, (List Price: $18.99, Tundra Books, 9781774882023, August 2024)
