A boy and a girl of different skin colors board a subway car. Each child quietly ponders questions posed by the lyrical text: "Why am I me...and not you?" Textured illustrations, in acrylic paint, colored pencil, and collage, reflect the beauty and diversity of the other people pictured. When the two children finally speak to each other, their simple "hi"s offer connection across space and difference.

Penelope can't escape her mother's penchant for planning every minute, until she falls through a hole in her schedule and finds herself in the Wonderland-esque Realm of Possibility. Britt's playful puns move the story along as Penelope strives to save the Realm from the evil timekeeper Chronos, and White's violet-hued illustrations add life and movement.
