'"What is" is all that matters, and "We are the way we are". You're YOU, no matter WHAT you wear and so is your Papa!' This is a funny story with a serious side. Jeanne Willis' characteristic rhyming couplets keep things bouncy and moving along at a fast pace, while Stephanie Laberis' illustrations are teeming with riotous colour and splendour.
