Mum and Dad say I'm a blend of dark and light: 'We mixed you perfectly, and got you just right.' Here, finally, is an upbeat, honest look at the experience of a mixed-race child, based on the author's and artist's experiences. Kids love to touch Mike's hair. They sometimes ask him to choose 'sides' between hanging out with black kids or white kids. But Mike just wants to be . . . Mike!

The team who brought us Chocolate Me! returns with an upbeat story about a mixed-race boy in this heartfelt picture book.
