Description

Marisol McDonald, a biracial Peruvian-Scottish-American girl, embraces her unique identity despite not fitting into conventional categories. With flaming red hair, nut-brown skin, and a love for mixing polka dots with stripes, Marisol confidently navigates a world that struggles to understand her. Author Monica Brown, drawing from her own diverse heritage, crafts a lively story celebrating individuality, with vivid illustrations by Sara Palacios. The book illustrates how Marisol's seemingly mismatched characteristics make perfect sense to her, even if others are confused by it. Through lively prose and engaging illustrations, the story portrays Marisol's unapologetic confidence in her identity, encouraging readers to embrace their own uniqueness.
