Review: What a fun book to show how, over time, one's persons differences are not so odd afterall. Great illustrations, engaging and thought provoking. Important for those kids put into a new situation and those welcoming someone different from them. Lovely read at the beginning of the year in a classroom or when any new student arrives.

Velvet is odd. All the kids think so. But Velvet doesn't mind that they think that, and she goes on her way, just being herself, and the kids come to learn that different is pretty great after all. I love this book so much. I discovered it years ago, at a little bookstore and brought it home with me, because it resonated as something true and wonderful. I've subsequently given that copy, and many other copies away to kids who follow their own paths. In fact, I bought this copy to replace my copy, which I gave to a girl in my son's class who reminds me very much of Velvet. You know those books that you read, and then you want to hug and hold in your heart forever? This is one of those books. Appropriate for all ages. The art is vivid and bright and happy. The text is short and easy enough for beginning readers, but deep enough for adults. I love this book, and I think every kid (and grownup) who has ever felt like they see the world a little differently will be happy to have this in their collection.
