Thank you to Two Lions for the eGalley to review!
I loved the message of this story and the art is just beautiful. I truly enjoyed looking at it as well as reading it. However, as much as the book is supposed to show how we are all One with each other in spite of our differences, the only differences I can see between all the people on the pages are skin color, ethnicity, and religion. Not a single character is disabled. While homosexuality is shown, not a single character is gender nonconforming. I get that not every story can have every single identity, but this is the very point of this book so I feel it missed the mark a bit, especially when it comes to having no one visibly disabled.
Regardless, this is a lovely book with a great message.
