What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book's core themes are identity and difference, approached in a gentle, celebratory, and secular manner. It normalizes variety (e.g., "Love your different ears") without pathologizing it. There are no heavy topics. The resolution is simply a continuous, hopeful state of love and acceptance.
Ideal Reader
A 2- to 5-year-old who is beginning to notice differences in themselves and others. It's also perfect for a child experiencing a bout of low self-esteem, a perfectionist child who is afraid to make mistakes, or any young child as a calming, positive read before bedtime.
