This is an inspirational poem, a reminder to be aware of our bodies, and the ways they connect us to others even as we are unique. The art style is pretty abstract, which fits with the text, but did make the whole story feel very abstract rather than concrete, so some kids won't really get this story...but perhaps it is more aimed towards older kids.
