Publisher's Summary
From a Newbery Medal-winning author comes a deeply moving ode to the complexity and uniqueness of every child.
In profound, uplifting verse, beloved author Matt de la Peña explores the endless possibilities each child contains: A young dancer may grow into a computer coder; a basketball player might become a poet; a class clown may one day serve as an inspiring teacher; and today’s quiet empath might be tomorrow’s great leader. Here's a profound and uplifting new classic with an empowering message for listeners of all ages: Your story is still being written.
What the critics say
"The call to revel in the glorious patchwork that is 'us' blazes forth from this paean of acceptance."—Kirkus Reviews, starred review
"Celebrates [kids'] capacity to explore and change . . . conveying the heartening idea that lives of meaning emerge . . . from 'mismatched scraps accumulated over time/ and stitched together/ into a kind of patchwork.'"—Publishers Weekly
