And that sometimes, when we reach out and begin to share our stories, others will be happy to meet us halfway.Those first days back to school are all about getting to know everyone and building a classroom community. Jacqueline Woodson's lyrical text and Rafael López's dazzling art reminds us that we all feel like outsiders sometimes-and how brave it is that we go forth anyway. It's not easy to take those first steps into a place where nobody really knows you yet, but somehow you do it. Maybe it's how you look or talk, or where you're from maybe it's what you eat, or something just as random. There are many reasons to feel different. There will be times when you walk into a room and no one there is quite like you. National Book Award winner Jacqueline Woodson and two-time Pura Belpré Illustrator Award winner Rafael López have teamed up to create a poignant, yet heartening book about finding courage to connect, even when you feel scared and alone.
