Critical Reviews

"A lovely ode to the beauty of those with vitiligo is showcased in this rhyming picture book. Bright colors along with a vast array of fine details makes this an excellent choice for patrons of all ages." -- School Library Journal

"This utterly charming picture book from vitiligo advocate Rivera exudes self-love from cover to cover. Her confidence is infectious. Mata's illustrations are full of texture and joy. Much-needed encouragement to love the skin we're in." -- Kirkus Reviews

"I stand up and I stand out./ I am the light and the spark," declares the vivacious narrator of Rivera's upbeat debut...Via texture and contrast, digital illustrations from Mata add warmth and lightheartedness to this self-loving tale. -- Publishers Weekly
