  • Delightful Book Can Be Enjoyed by All

    Imaginatively posed book of children showing their personalities, scrumptiously-described skin tones, eye colors and hair styles. I even bought "eye color" rocks to go with this book for my 4-year old grandgirl. I like the book so much, I'm planning to order one for myself. Positive& lovely!
