When my son entered kindergarten he wanted to know why he couldn't have a mohawk like one of his classmates and why his hair was black and mine was brown. Hair and shades of skin became interesting to him. This book provided the perfect way to talk about superficial differences in a comforting way.

A beautiful vignette from The House on Mango Street. I recommend to all of my fellow teachers if you are preparing students for a self portrait or a personal narrative.

Found the illustrations distracting. The Spanish was not as prominent as I would have liked.
