A very timely antidote for the world right now. Children will relate to this little book, it will perhaps help them to comprehend how everyone is special in their own way, everyone has a special gift to be their own person.

Such an inspiring and empowering story book for children to know & acknowledge without judgement, that their own special qualities are worthy, real and acceptable as well as their peers too. Love the inclusiveness, diversity of names, a catchy and rhyming text, which will enhance the children's interest to discover the magic of how in anyway shape or form, that individual self expressions and uniqueness of each child are perfectly ok and should be accepted in this world of ours. The characters facial emotions and ambience of the book are captured beautifully by the illustrator, which compliments the message of the storybook.
