What a lovely display of the many ways we can be. Readers will enjoy pointing out all of the diversity – skin colors show kids who are Black, Brown, White and Asian one child uses a wheelchair and another uses a white cane there’s a girl in a hijab, a boy with a Sikh patka and another wearing a yarmulke some kids are gender non-binary and there’s a set of twins. The rhyming text is spare, but the mixed media illustrations carry the weight and are full of joy and expression. Feelings about what to do with the space are the subject of this picture book about exploring emotions. What did you like about the book? A diverse group of kids finds a vacant lot containing a lovely tree with a bunch of garbage piled around it. Rating: 1-5 (5 is an excellent or a Starred review) 4.5
