Bookroo's summary

A young girl navigates the vibrant blend of her African American mother and white father's worlds. From art to cuisine, their differences create a unique family tapestry. As she explores her own identity, she discovers that being 'just right' means embracing the beautiful contrasts that define her family. How do these differences shape her journey, and what does it mean to be perfectly unique?

From the publisher

A girl explains how her parents are different in color, tastes in art and food, and pet preferences, and how she herself is different too but just right.
