A celebration of family roots from award-winning children's author Carole Boston Weatherford!
I've got my brother's ears
And my sister's big bright eyes.
I've got my grandpa's hands
Though mine are a smaller size.
As a young girl reflects on the characteristics she shares with her family, she also notices and appreciates what makes her unique. This adorably sweet book reminds children of the love and security of family and celebrates the wonderful diversity among the people that make up our families and who love us so much!
