"I read this to my daughter because it will be required reading for her next year. I enjoyed it b/c it taught children what it is like to be an outsider, and how it feels to reach out to others different from you."
"I can't even begin to count how many times I've read this book, both as a child and as an adult. The story and the accompanying artwork are beautiful."
"A favorite when I was a child, this story rates with "The Hundred Dresses" on my list of best "you can appreciate your own unique strengths, qualities, and culture" books for kids."
