Written by Matt Goodfellow, Illustrated by Yu Rong
This book shows the importance of celebrating and sharing your talents (specifically through art in this story), and how it can create connections to those who you thought so different than you before. These bonds can see through race and cultural differences, and all that is left is connection, empathy, and friendship. Great book for new friends joining school, specifically those who come and look and feel very different than their peers.
