Review Quotes




Inclusive and empowering.
--Kirkus Reviews

The advice written in this book is all taken from real children. . . .Things as simple as loving a good picture book, being brave and being happy, as well as more complicated ideas such as activism and loss are covered.
--School Library Connection

Readers are introduced to a group of infants of various skin tones and abilities and given the opportunity to follow them into adulthood in this hopeful message to young people. . . . The tone is encouraging and reassuring while acknowledging there will be hard times and mistakes will be made. . . . Readers will want to return to the beginning of the book repeatedly to follow the path of each character.
