An absolutely fantastic, beautiful read.
The book is quite wordy, so it is best for older children. In it, various situations are presented in which kids don't feel they fit in. From having stayed home all summer to having lunches the others are unfamiliar with, there are times you feel left out and different. However, by the end, the beauty of diverse experiences and perspectives blooms into a truly gorgeous message of acceptance and cherishing differences. I loved the reassuring tone of the book and the warmth of the ending.
The illustrations are also lovely. I really enjoyed the different colors, patterns, and textures and the magical elements worked into the every day situations. Gorgeous artwork that is fun to look at.
A wonderful read, especially for kids dealing with not fitting in and being different.
