Opetoritse ，

As seems to be a trend in picture books recently， this book reads more like a pat on the back for socially conscious parents than an actual effort to educate children on racism and injustice。 The topic is approached in a very bland and unoriginal way， breaking virtually no new ground。 The relatively modern touches of highlighting homelessness， gender， and sexuality are largely superficial， and have been given much more meaningful treatment in other works。 The societal issues Kendi name-drops are As seems to be a trend in picture books recently， this book reads more like a pat on the back for socially conscious parents than an actual effort to educate children on racism and injustice。 The topic is approached in a very bland and unoriginal way， breaking virtually no new ground。 The relatively modern touches of highlighting homelessness， gender， and sexuality are largely superficial， and have been given much more meaningful treatment in other works。 The societal issues Kendi name-drops are not explained or explored， simply signaled in ways that savvy adults will recognize but children won't pick up on。 It could be considered a conversation starter for families， but only if the adults in those families are already well versed enough to fill in the complicated blanks in child-friendly language。 But at that point， they may as well write their own books。 。。。more

I have 2 and a half grandchildren （#3 due around Thanksgiving this year）。 I bought this book so the two older grandkids could read it to their soon to be born baby sister or brother。

Shone ，

I loved and enjoyed this book an the message it conveyed for the children。 I wish the pictures have been a little brighter。

Ellon ，

I love the message of this book and the future it envisions。 I do think the actual text is a bit awkward at times and I didn't totally love the illustration style。 I love the message of this book and the future it envisions。 I do think the actual text is a bit awkward at times and I didn't totally love the illustration style。 。。。more

Beautifully illustrated book with an important message。 However， Kendi is NOT a children's book author。 Beautifully illustrated book with an important message。 However， Kendi is NOT a children's book author。 。。。more

Jenny Potatoes ，

Lovely writing and plenty of conversation starters。 The illustrations feel a little dated。

Melissa0919 ，

Do yourself a favour and listen to the audiobook。 Very cute little voice。 A very good book。

Jennifer Lavoie ，

The art was great， and the message of the story was good， but the writing style was jarring and the pacing made it a little difficult to read and follow the story。 Some parts were poetic and others were not， so I couldn’t tell what style it was supposed to be written in。
