My Footprints by Bao Phi

4.0

I didn't think this book had much to do with footprints. I think it goes in a few different directions when the message it's trying to send is that everyone is different and that's okay. Thuy is bullied for being a POC and for having two moms. Her way of coping is creating an animal that is strong and brave to fight away the bad feelings of being bullied. It's a sweet story but I wish it would have been a little more direct in its message. Books need to start telling bullies to stop being jerks rather than telling the bullied to stay strong.
