Illustrated by
Chris Raschka.
Hooks and Raschka's collaboration encourages readers to look beyond appearances. Raschka's illustrations are well matched with hooks's flowing refrains, showing children of varied ethnicities in broad strokes that get smaller as hooks invites readers to "be with me inside the me of me." A poetic picture book that will be relevant to a diverse range of children.
