Marisol McDonald Doesn't Match / Marisol McDonald no combina

Review
By BookDragon

Brilliant, rambunctious, delightful. . . . [Author Monica Brown] revels in every child’s individuality, turning her own experiences of being told she and her cousins ‘don’t match’ into this infectiously engaging, empowering celebration. Illustrator Sara Palacios gleefully infuses Marisol with constant movement (her pigtails an indicator of her happiness level), her room filled with creative clutter, her clothing an especially eye-popping reflection of Marisol’s irrepressible energy. As the kiddies head back to school, Marisol McDonald is a ‘simply marvelous’ book to sneak into their packs … and share with their libraries, as well. That’s not just a hint, that’s an order!
