Corinna Luyken is the author/illustrator of three previous picture books, The Tree in Me (an NCTE Notable Poetry Book and Indie Bestseller), My Heart (a New York Times Best Seller), and The Book of Mistakes (which the Wall Street Journal called ""sublime""), and the illustrator of several other books, including Patchwork,Adrian Simcox Does Not Have a Horse, Something Good, and Nothing in Common. She lives in Western Washington, near the Salish Sea, with her family.
The illustrations are the real standout here, fluid and soft, a pale pastel palette setting the tone. All the people are dressed in white, allowing their unique features to stand out. The book's greatest strength is its diversity-characters vary by ability, age, skin tone, and size, with a wide range of body types on display . . . an ode to the beauty of the human body. -Kirkus
