What's Special About Me, Mama?

(3) PS Illustrated by Javaka Steptoe. When a child asks his mother what about him is special, she provides a list of his physical traits and character qualities (e.g., "the way you share"). The sweetness of the mother's answers is often calibrated by the boy's honesty ("but sometimes I feel like keeping all my toys to myself"). Textured collage illustrations with varying perspectives broaden the book's appeal.
