Pros

Tami Charles at one of interview spoke up about the reason why she wrote this book. The reason was to provide parents with a starting point for conversations about the racial climate in the country today. These are issues that should be discussed in all families, of all backgrounds, to raise empathetic future leaders.

Bryan Colier as the illustrator explained how he's working out on this book. He said he tried to capture the musicality, rhythm, and bounce of the text as it takes readers on a journey that zooms through time and space shouting All Because You Matter. And he wanted to remind readers when they walk into a room, all those voices, faces and ancestors walk with them. [3]
