LovelyJess Hong, illustrated by Jess HongLovely considers many visible and personal differences: being big or small, curly- or straight-haired, loud or quiet, smooth or wrinkled. Through simple text and colorful illustrations, it presents these contrasts as parts of a shared idea of loveliness. The book is a celebration of the many ways people differ, bringing varied traits together rather than treating any one quality as the standard. Humor also accompanies its portrayal of differences.Under FiveOn the same reading list for the same age or grade groupView book details
