    This book uses simple language and repetition to convey the theme that although people may look different on the outside, we all have the same feelings and humanity. The illustrations show people from around the world of various cultures and physical appearances, while the text speaks directly to the young reader, emphasizing our shared experiences of laughing, crying, playing and more. The book is appropriate for its preoperational stage audience as it uses a conversational second-person point of view that helps children in that cognitive development phase absorb the story's message about diversity.

    Give examples from the book show how the book fits that trait and cognitive stage:

    “conversational” to readers in this age range. They will absorb the information well and thoroughly
    because of this.
