Advance Praise
"Baker's minimal text is ably supported by Thomas' muted artwork. Featuring grays and warm yellows, the images evoke the feeling of a classic storybook--one that's cleverly subverted as the narrative progresses. Dynamic layouts--the occasional use of panels, the word "ENOUGH!" taking up an entire spread--add panache. Bird's comments are rendered in a unique, flowing typeface. The message is clear: It's foolish and limiting to attempt to put anyone in a box; there's so much more to all of us than meets the eye. Delivers an important lesson with an emotional wallop." - Kirkus Reviews
