Summary: I wrote this book to help my wife and I express to our daughter some of our most important values. These include accepting and celebrating the diversity of others and of oneself. My goal was to relate this theme to those things that are most apparent in children's lives. Using rhyming text and colorful illustrations, the book describes how we are all unique when it comes to our physical appearances, our homes and where we live, the makeup of our families, and more.
