A moving poem about acceptance, peace, and diversity, emphasizing every child’s right to a shining future. Watercolor illustrations elicit the beauty of our world and its many different people.

I liked the book because of all the different cultures that were apart of the story and expression. The book is a feel-good expression of how everyone is shining and happy in their own way based on what is particular to them. I liked how the author included a line about what is peculiar to one type of person is not peculiar to another. The book carried good life lessons for children along with exposing them to different cultures. The illustrations were beautiful and represented how colorful cultures and people can be. ( )
