<p><strong>In this companion to the enormously popular <em>A Family Is a Family Is a Family</em>, a group of kids share the silly questions they always hear, as well as the questions they would <em>rather</em> be asked about themselves.</strong></p>

<p><em>Being the new kid is hard</em>, a child in the school playground tells us. <em>I can think of better things to ask than if I’m a boy or a girl.</em> Another child comes along and says she gets asked why she always has her nose in a book. Someone else gets asked where they come from. </p>

<p>One after another, children share the questions they’re tired of being asked again and again — as opposed to what <em>they </em>believe are the most important or interesting things about themselves. As they move around the playground, picking up new friends along the way, there is a feeling of understanding and acceptance among them. And in the end, the new kid comes up with the question they would definitely all like to hear: “Hey kid, want to play?”</p>

<p>Sara O’Leary’s thoughtful text and Qin Leng’s expressive illustrations tell a story about children who are all different, all themselves, all just kids.</p>
