This book teaches children that diversity is something good and a strength. I think it is very important to teach acceptance to children at a very young age and to show them that not everyone looks the same or has the same traditions. This story resembles what I wish for my future classroom and school to be like. Review: This story was very inspiring, and I enjoyed reading it very much.
