Description

By New York Times-bestselling author Annie Barrows and Pura Belpr Honor award recipient Leo Espinosa, this funny yet thought-provoking picture book offers a sequence of outlandishly fun compare-and-contrasts that show how humans are much more like each other than we are different.

Reviews

"This uproarious picture book works on kids' funny bones to get across the message that, despite any superficial differences, we humans are all alike. . . . The book's silliness makes its argument accessible to all." -Booklist, starred review
"Espinosa's bright retro illustrations [are] individually distinct....A strong argument for the logic of inclusivity, founded on our having more in common than in conflict." - Kirkus Reviews
