  I’m impressed with this book! I have one big issue with it and that issue only arises on the very last part of the book. The author’s were well intentioned when they advised readers to not use person first language when referring to disabled people but I truly do not know how they did not consult other opinions. I’m proud to be disabled and know it’s part of who I am. Again, well intentioned but much of the disabled community prefers when people ask what they would like to be called. Sad because the rest of the disabled representation seemed accurate to me.
  
  It is great that it includes a table of contents and that it had a diversity consultant. There is some information overload especially on the 6 page, the organization/format makes it a little overwhelming.
  
  The book engages the audience with questions, good way to make it personal, and makes the book last longer with little matching games.

  I used this book to supplement my social studies lessons on diversity and culture. I really like how it emphasizes the diversity of human beings and highlights certain aspects of cultural diversity like differences in what we eat and occasions we celebrate! I would definitely recommend to any teacher or adult working with kids!

  What a great book! I’m so glad it exists. It covered so many kinds of differences. I was surprised it didn’t mention same-sex couples. (I also read it pretty quickly, but I don’t think there was any queer marriage shout out, and I did see a passing reference to something like “girls who feel like boys and boys who feel like girls”, so I’m not sure why queer marriage wasn’t mentioned, given the breadth of differences this book covers).

  A picture book exploring diversity and all the ways that people can be different or similar. It is a celebration of different kinds of diversity. It was especially exciting more me to see dyspraxia, a sensory motor disability, mentioned. I have lived with this my whole life and it is the first times I have seen it specifically mentioned in a book directed towards children. It was really cool to see that. It reinforces to me how much representation matters.

  I'll be honest when my weekly women's group met in the Kindy room at Canberra National SDA Church, and I didn't expect to find this gem. But not only was it such a cute little book, but it's also so progressive in how it displays diversity in our world. What a big win!
