Review Quotes

? "This uproarious picture book works on kids' funny bones to get across the message that, despite any superficial differences, we humans are all alike. . . . The book's silliness makes its argument accessible to all." -Booklist, starred review

"Espinosa's bright retro illustrations [are] individually distinct....A strong argument for the logic of inclusivity, founded on our having more in common than in conflict." - Kirkus Reviews
