There are lots of reasons to feel different. Maybe it's how you look or talk, or maybe you're from. Maybe it's what you eat or something just as random. Whatever it is, it's not easy to take those first steps into a place where nobody knows you, but somehow you do it. Jaqueline Woodson's lyrical text and Rafael Lopez's dazzling art celebrate the bravery it takes to go forth even when you feel like an outsider. And they remind us that sometimes when we reach out and begin to share our story, others will be happy to meet us halfway. ER -
