### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love this book!
*by A***L on November 12, 2024*

The Day You Begin spoke right to my heart! In my 40 years, I finally found a picture book that made me feel truly seen. Jacqueline Woodson and Rafael López beautifully capture the experience of standing out and the courage it takes to share your story. Readers follow Angelina’s journey, feeling different because of her food, background, and memories. This book shows that our unique stories matter while also revealing the shared experiences that connect us all. I highly recommend it to every child and adult who’s ever felt out of place!
