This is an adorable book. About a family with all different skin colors. The story reads as a poem or song. Had to explain some of the pages to my 5 year old, but she really enjoyed it. She likes Karen Katz's The Colors Of Us better, but this is a wonderful book. My daughter enjoyed the illustrations and the family members. I would recommend it.
