A sublime joy." -- STARRED REVIEW, Kirkus Reviews "Shapiro envelops big ideas within this whimsically affirming exploration of individuality and selfhood. A welcome, wandering contemplation of a book about being 'OURSELVES together.'" -- STARRED REVIEW, Publishers Weekly "Celebrate and ponder the joy and power of knowing one's self in this contemplative and encouraging tale. [C]aregivers and readers will find ample discussion opportunities on subjects such as self-discovery and thoughtfulness.
