Review:

Being human means being curious and always learning. Being human also means finding your way, having big dreams and seeing the possibilities. But there can also be sadness, mistakes and imperfections. There is listening, forgiveness and moving forward and knowing you are not alone. 

Author Susan Verde shares a simplistic way of showing being a human with empathy. This story shows readers the curiosity and need for learning along with imperfections, forgiveness and connectivity to the world. The art by Peter H. Reynolds shows humans interacting in vibrant colors. Parents and teachers can use this as a tool to show how unique we all are and also how we have similarities. The authors note in that back shares’ mindfulness techniques.
