Bookroo's summary

Mike is a vibrant, mixed-race boy who embraces his unique identity with enthusiasm. As he navigates a day filled with curious questions about his heritage, Mike's joyful spirit shines through. His parents celebrate him as the perfect blend of dark and light, but how does Mike handle the world’s curiosity? Join him on a lively journey that explores identity, belonging, and the beauty of being perfectly mixed.

From the publisher

Mom and Dad say I’m a blend of dark and light: “We mixed you perfectly, and got you just right.” Mike has awesome hair. He has LOTS of energy! His parents love him. And Mike is a PERFECT blend of the two of them. Still, Mike has to answer LOTS of questions about being mixed. And he does, with LOTS of energy and joy in this charming story about a day in the life of a mixed-race child.
