Why read it?

1 author picked Like You, Like Me as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I was fortunate enough to see the finished book by the author before it went to print, and I was blown away. Not only is it a story that celebrates the connections between two kids who live worlds apart, but it is so gorgeously illustrated.

The collage technique and colors used make this book a stand out. It's perfect for families as well as pre-school and elementary school students. It was a joy to share with my grandson.
