Booklist - 01/01/2016 This title continues Harris and Westcott’s Let’s Talk about You and Me series of books, which makes abstract concepts accessible to young readers and their adults. Their newest follows an interracial family through an amusement park—where better to find a kaleidoscope of humans? Siblings Nellie and Gus notice how they look “a little bit alike. But not a lot alike.” From there, the lens expands to all the people around them. Difference is explained first in simple terms, such as clothes, haircuts, and so forth, moving to more complex ways, like hair texture and eye shape. These details set the stage for an explication of the roles of melanin and inheritance and, later, for the reality of how difference can be scary or make people say mean things. Every unkind act can be remedied, however, and ultimately, we’re all more the same than we are different. - Copyright 2016 Booklist.
