Do I Look Odd To You

Written and Illustrated by: Rebecca and James McDonald

Grades: K-5

Do I Look Odd To You is about meeting someone on another planet. They may be different from you but, they are really like you. We don't all look alike, we have many different characteristics and features from skin color, eye color and shapes of our bodies. Some people have disabilities and maybe even a deformity. The illustrations are colorful and the story is told in a rhyming form.  It gives a lot of examples on the differences the creature could have and keeps bringing up the question, "If they were this then would that make a difference?". It is great that it's not humans because it puts a different perspective on diversity.

This book is great for the classroom. The children can see that everyone has differences and we shouldn't judge them by those differences.
