A #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER! Featured in its own episode in the Netflix original show Bookmarks: Celebrating Black Voices!  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.  There will be times when you walk into a room and no one there is quite like you.  There are many reasons to feel different. Maybe it\u00b4s how you look or talk, or where you\u00b4re from; maybe it\u00b4s what you eat, or something just as random. It\u00b4s not easy to take those first steps into a place where nobody really knows you yet, but somehow you do it.  Jacqueline Woodson\u00b4s lyrical text and Rafael López\u00b4s dazzling art reminds us that we all feel like outsiders sometimes-and how brave it is that we go forth anyway.
