Review quotes
"Sauer's narrative unfolds with an appealing main character, well-paced action, and accessible humor... Laberis creates expressive characters within vivid scenes that make good use of repeated shapes. A lively, colorful picture book." —Booklist "This entertaining picture book would be a wonderful read-aloud and discussion starter for early grade schoolers. The bright and colorful illustrations sparkle with humor, and many young readers will readily identify with Lou's identity crisis. A funny but touching story about learning to accept who you are." —Kirkus Reviews
