Changes

The illustrations, by Dhiraj Navlakhi, are striking and really bring Todd to life. I have, though, a couple of quibbles. The clock appears in three different illustrations at two different separate locations but the clock and the time are ''exactly'' the same in each. The other is a little more serious as the illustration contradicts the text. Grandmother says ''Look Todd, every button is different and yet you love them all'' - but we see five red buttons, two purple and three green. It would have been so simple to make them all different.

I do applaud the sentiment behind the book: it's an important read, not just for people who feel that they are different but for those who only see the differences in other people. I'd like to thank the publisher for sending a copy to the Bookbag.
