In this story, Mia tells the reader about her experience being a child of mixed heritage. How does she overcome the prejudice of being judged by the color of her skin?

The simple text and beautiful illustrations are great for provoking thought and discussion in the classroom. Winner of Best New Picture Book by Child Education 2002 (Scholastic Ltd).

THIS TITLE IS AVAILABLE IN MANY BILINGUAL EDITIONS.

REVIEW
Both Kai and Mia look like their fathers, but not like their mothers. People always ask the two if they are with babysitters, when they are actually with their moms. The other children at school don’t believe Mia and Kai’s claims that the women are related to them, which the two find very upsetting. At first, they try to think of ways to look more like their mothers, but then they realize that they shouldn’t have to change. Finally, Mia and Kai find a creative way to tell the world, “That’s my mom!”

Derek Brazell’s beautiful illustrations give color to each page, to the delight of readers old and young. They also help give younger children a better understanding of the story’s dual messages of self-confidence and open-mindedness.

Reviewer: Brenda T from Astoria, OR United States  
It's really a shame how in America we are stuck in monolingual where other countries start their children off young learning foreign languages. These books are great for my friend's 5 year old in Bavaria to help her learn English which she is now being taught in kindergarten. These books are awesome! Need more of then in German though as I had a hard time finding many.
