From acclaimed writer Jacqueline Woodson, comes this empowering tale about embracing difference and celebrating what makes you YOU.
There will be times when you walk into a room
and no one there is quite like you . . .
It might be how you look or the way you talk, where you're from; maybe it's what you eat or what your hair is like. Feeling like an outsider can be scary at first, but the day you begin to share your stories might just be the day others find the courage to share theirs too.
