Age range: Preschool-Kindergarten Large Fears Younger me would have loved this. Large Fears so lemme get this staight:

you're saying this is a story about a black boy who loves pink and wants to go to mars?

huh.

well, i think that's just



no matter what this lady thinks. Large Fears I appreciate that this book seeks to represent a different character than we usually see, especially in picture books. It follows a boy of color who loves pink and wants to visit Mars. This book may resonate most with other children who don't feel they fit into the binary of male and female, as opposed to helping others understand that perspective (better mirror than window, if you know that analogy). The illustrations are beautiful, and also unique. I do think the writing could have been tighter, but it's still an important and valuable book to me. Large Fears A lovely children's book that highlights the need for understanding and acceptance - an acceptance we have as children.
