This was so sweet!
I really liked the messages about kindess, and how violence is never the answer. I feel like it did a good job of showing how kindness and sharing are important values to have.
We have a gaybies book! Our main character has two mums in this one, and they go to Mardi Gras (pride) celebration in Australia.
I really liked the diverse illustrations. We get to see POC in this book, and I saw someone wearing the aboriginal flag shirt in the Mardi Gras celebration image. Lovely diversity.
And the illustrations themselves were really good. Also full of bright colours which were engaging for the child I was reading to.

A beautiful story about finding kindness, love and acceptance in all things (even wrestling)! It was especially significant for us, with the recognisable Sydney landmarks and all the brilliant colour of the Mardi Gras parade.
