Why read it?

1 author picked One of a Kind, Like Me / Único Como Yo as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I am a huge fan of dual language books.

What’s more, along with being written in both English and Spanish together, One of a Kind Like Me / Unico Como Yo features a Hispanic family supporting their child’s desire to bust gender boundaries when choosing a costume for the school parade.

From Kelly's list on picture books to explore gender bias.
