Illustrated by
Dyanna Wolcott.
During a day at the beach with her family, a young girl lists what parts of her body are from which relatives: "My feet are Dad's, except my funny little toe, which is a lot more like Aunt Jen's." But she's also an individual, and in the end she proudly shouts this out. Kuskin's light verse is buoyed by the lush watercolor and gouache illustrations in tropical colors.
