According to Kathleen Atkins, Associate Professor, Early Childhood and Special Education, “The author, Deb Kuster, shares a beautiful story of self-discovery. Jake’s journey explains to children that emotions such as loneliness, insecurity, and fear can lead to unexpected blessings in life. The patchwork illustrations in the book reinforce the story’s message that being different is what makes us our “unique” and “worthy” selves. A beautiful book in every way!”
