Review: Perfect for preschoolers and adults alike! - I've never felt compelled to write a review on a book before (and I buy a lot of books). This book is absolutely perfect. It is so innocently written, geared toward appreciating all our beautiful colors, without a heavy-handed moral message. Exactly what is needed to help foster a natural sense of appreciation for all people, and a great starter book for discussions about race and ethnicity. We are leaving this one out on the coffee table, and I wish I had bought the hard-back copy. In fact, I might still do that.
Review: Beautiful pictures & language to describe different shades of skin! - This book has beautiful, real life pictures of children. I love the language used to describe different shades of skin!! My 2 year old daughter loves reading this book. It would be a great book for school/classroom libraries.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Winner!
*by J***N on June 11, 2020*

Love how bright, clear and big the pictures are! I have a 5month old and I lay the book open and propped up for her to look at all the children. She loves observing them, the diversity and I appreciate that theres so many pictures on one page. Very sweet book. Almost Sesame Street vibes.
