Jacqueline Woodson is the 2018-2019 National Ambassador for Young People's Literature

A number one New York Times best seller!

National Book Award winner Jacqueline Woodson has created a poignant, yet heartening book about finding courage to connect, even when you feel scared and alone.

There will be times when you walk into a room

and no one there is quite like you.

There are many reasons to feel different. Maybe it's how you look or talk, or where you're from; maybe it's what you eat, or something just as random. It's not easy to take those first steps into a place where nobody really knows you yet, but somehow you do it.

Jacqueline Woodson's lyrical prose and warm narration remind us that we all feel like outsiders sometimes - and how brave it is that we go forth anyway. And that sometimes, when we reach out and begin to share our stories, others will be happy to meet us halfway.

(This book is also available in Spanish, as El Día En Que Descubres Quién Eres!)

Great Student Teacher Gift

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on December 12, 2020

This was a great book to gift my student teacher. I gave it 4 stars because the left corner of the book cover had a small rip on it.

We are all differently alike

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on May 1, 2020

A beautiful story about how sometimes children feel as though they are so different from everyone else, due to their speech, culture, or what they eat. However, when each child begins to share parts of themselves to others, they find they are a little alike each person in different ways.

Every person book about connection.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on August 19, 2020

Verified Purchase

Absolutely beautiful book about finding connection when you feel at your lowest ebb. Although this is written for children to help them come to terms with their uniqueness in a multicultural society there are doubtless a few adults who may also find comfort in this book.

We have all felt alone and looked for comfort from the people around us. This is a warming book about connection and self-confidence. Beautiful and should be on every child’s bookshelf.

And it’s beautifully illustrated!

Nice message, but lost on the audience

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on August 30, 2019

Verified Purchase

The message is lovely, but utterly lost on my daughter (4). She’s pretty quick to pick up messages in stories but there IS no story here so she wasn’t engaged enough to follow it.
Maybe when she’s older it might work but she’ll have actually started school by then so it wouldn’t serve the purpose I bought it for.

Humour and a story go a long way to communicate with a child and this has neither

This book touched me!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on May 13, 2022

I usually don't write reviews but I found myself tearing up reading this book to my two girls. The message of acceptance and love and strength in our differences really touched me! I love the subtle hints that we are all different but all have things in common. Absolutely beautiful boom!
