The day you begin Cover Image Book

The day you begin / Jacqueline Woodson ; illustrated by Rafael López.

Woodson, Jacqueline, (author.). López, Rafael, 1961- (illustrator.).

Summary:

There will be times when you walk into a room and no one there is quite like you. There are lots of reasons to feel different. Maybe it's how you look or talk, or where you're from. Maybe it's what you eat or something just as random. Whatever it is, it's not easy to take those first steps into a place where nobody knows you, but somehow you do it. Jacqueline Woodson's lyrical text and Rafael López's dazzling art celebrate the bravery it takes to go forth even when you feel like an outsider. And they remind us that sometimes, when we reach out and begin to share our story, others will be happy to meet us halfway. -- From dust jacket.
