"I enjoy science, math, and reading. My interest in these subjects has taught me a lot of cool things. I understand why water freezes when it's cold, and ice melts when its hot. I can do math problems in my head. The Stories I read allow me to go to my magical places all the time. ... Memorable Moment {Page not numbered}

MY THOUGHTS ... A wonderful celebration of the fact that we are all amazing human beings with our own 'talents' that make us special and unique ... even if, like Kaycie {a character who struck a chord with me in an unexpectedly big way, just as I know she will with others too}, we sometimes have to dig deep to discover just what that talent is. That Kaycie came to be proud of that which made her special, of that which made her her, made this a delightful, truly inspirational read that I know my local primary school will be so happy to receive from me.

Credit also to Benedicta Buatsie for the striking illustrations. Thinking back to my childhood I'm hard pressed to think of many books that featured children of colour, thank goodness that this is largely in the past, that today children of all nationalities can readily open a book and see characters who resemble themselves.
