Description

By New York Times-bestselling author Annie Barrows and Pura Belpre 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.

Author Biography

Annie Barrows has written scads of books for children, including the New York Times bestselling chapter book series Ivy + Bean, as well as the Iggy series, a young adult novel, some picture books, and a couple of books involving magic. If Annie could be like something else on earth, she would probably choose an excavator. Or a tiger. Leo Espinosa is a New York Times bestselling illustrator. He was awarded a prestigious Pura Belpre Honor for the picture book Islandborn, written by Junot Diaz, and his illustrations have been featured in numerous publications, including the New Yorker. In addition to his love of drawing, Leo enjoys pedalling up and down the mountains around Salt Lake City, Utah, where he lives; so you could say he's both like a pencil and a bicycle.

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
