". . . sweet, catered to add to queer-friendly story times about acceptance and love. . . Murphy's digital art is quiet and subtly beautiful as the pages transition from cool, melancholic blues to page-popping swirls of yellow to the eventual full-rainbow world. Additionally, the rhythmic text lends this book a smooth and satisfying cadence that contribute to its group story time appeal." --BCCB "Encourages children (and by extension, their parents, caregivers, and teachers) to embrace and celebrate the differences that make them unique." --Booklist
