My Nose, Your Nose — Melanie Walsh

Melanie Walsh has once again created picture books for the youngest child. This time she introduces the concept of diversity, but her approach is very gentle:

Agnes has blue eyes. Kit's eyes are brown. But . . .
they both close their eyes when they go to sleep.

The close-up and lively illustrations of kids and all their cute bits -- eyes, hair, skin, noses, legs -- will invite readers to tell what's unique about themselves. And at the same time, children will see that there's so much they have in common, too.
