Pick 1 of 3

no cover

Marisol McDonald Doesn't Match / Marisol McDonald no combina

by Sara Palacios

Age fit: 4–8 · 520L (~2nd–3rd grade) · Solid early reader — they'll fly through it · Picture book

Rarely does a picture book nail identity and cultural pride this cleanly — Marisol's unapologetic mixing of traditions feels joyful, not defensive, and kids see themselves reflected without the book getting preachy.
