This book really connected with a curious four-year-old who wanted to read it several times in a row. The rhyming questions and answers help children take in the information and see why certain habits and behaviors matter. It encourages kids to care for their bodies, their surroundings, and other people in ways that make sense to them. Overall it feels both heartwarming and practical.

I really appreciated seeing a Black girl as the main character and enjoyed most of the artwork throughout the book. One visual detail, the white chairs, felt a little unsettling to me as they reminded me of white sheets, which I did not enjoy. I also would have preferred a slightly more powerful ending to the story. Overall, the illustrations are colorful and engaging. (This review has been adapted for display on this website.)
