This is a really cute book. I get the sentiment, which is VERY important in this climate! I do wish there was a little more substance to it. My son did like how short it was because I did make him actually read it to me. haha. Overall, it's cute and an important message. I just wanted a little more.

Nine babies are born on the same day, and we get to watch them grow up together in this beautifully told story. The story perfectly shows how children with different abilities and from different backgrounds are all precious and find happiness in similar ways. My kids loved both the illustrations and the story itself. It’s the perfect book for families with young children, especially those who value diversity in their home libraries. I especially appreciated the wide representation among the parents and children, and the illustrations were absolutely lovely. The story flows gently as the nine children grow up side by side, making it a sweet and meaningful read.

A very sweet and diverse book reflecting joy and friendship through children all born on the same day.

I love the rhyming in children’s books it makes it so much fun. This one was cute. The illustrations were adorable as well.

This is a short, yet poignant book that is perfect for little and parents. It was nice to see twin representation. I especially loved the page that talked about everyone having different kinds of days and being rich in different ways. This is a helpful reminder for children, and also parents who may compare their parenting journey and feel like they are not doing enough.

It was a wonderful way to communicate the ways different people are born, brought up, and live with one another. The rhyme was adorable and catchy, the arstyle was welcoming, bright and engaging, and the themes were lovely and necessary.

I read this book with my five year old son and we loved it. We talked about all the different types of families and all the fun activities they were doing. The illustration was really wonderful, very cute and colourful!

It’s a cute story about 9 kids who share a birthday. They're from different ethnicities and backgrounds, but at the end of the day they’re besties because to an innocent mind, your color, religion, or background doesn’t matter. Something we adults seriously need to learn from kids.

This is my honest opinion for the ARC I received. Thanks author and NetGalley for the opportunity!

I had such a fun time reading this book with my twin girls. The book is way more about the illustrations than the actual words on the page, and I love that. It’s so open to interpretation, and a great conversation started with kids. We enjoyed pointing to different things on the page, talking about what the children were doing, and talking about their families. This book definitely made for a super sweet story time learning about diversity!

This was such a cute, heartwarming story of friendship, love, and acceptance. The rhyming was fun, the pictures were bright and colorful, and the entire book was so hopeful and beautiful. My kids loved it!

Such a cute book with a cute book with wonderful art and a wonderful message. It’s a very sweet book and I enjoyed reading it.

I loved the author’s note about why they picked the number nine. It made me read the book a second and third time. The illustrations were cute, the text rhymed, and it showed all kinds of families enjoying various things.

A beautiful children's book. The art was especially striking. And I loved the message of this book. This book is perfect for libraries at home or shared, that are hoping to expand the diversity of their collection.

Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC!

Nine babies all born on the same day grow up side-by-side in this gorgeously illustrated picture book. The rhymes are lovely and the inclusive representation is authentically done. This would be great for a lap sit read with babies and toddlers.

A very short and sweet book for children. The illustrations are precious and include many types of diversity. The author's note in the back made me appreciate this simple book even more.

Super short and sweet children’s book it shows how each person is different. They admire the little things like the bubbles artwork. Anything that makes them happy.

This was such a sweet little story - great for little ones not ready for longer narratives.

The illustrations are stunning and sure to catch little eyes and the rhyming makes the narrative fun and easy to remember!

I love children's books that celebrate diversity, I wish these were more common when I was younger!

Little people was so cute a heartfelt. My son really enjoyed all the beautiful illustrations. Thanks so much netgalley for this cute moment with my son!
