3 stars

A sweet, lyrical book with a heartfelt message. The illustrations are a nice balance of simplistic background with more detailed characters. It was fun to see the different situations play out in the pictures such as swinging, racing, reading, etc.

The narration is also simple, going through poetic statements that follow the same form such as, “Like a champ, I’m here to fight. Like the heart, I’m here to love.” Throughout the book, a variety of actions and characters are presented and there is an emphasis on not letting differences define one’s worth.

An important message told in a lovely way. A beautiful book.
