Description de l’éditeur
I Am Perfectly Designed is an empowering story about loving who you are, exactly as you are – and a celebration of the love between parent and child. From Karamo Brown, star of the hit Netflix series Queer Eye.
Written by Karamo and his son Jason, this touching, funny story follows a boy and his father, as they spend the day together. Walking through the city, they chat about all the ways in which they are perfectly designed for each other.
From playing in the park and eating ice-creams, to gazing at the moon, father and son think about all the fun things they've done together . . . and all the fun to come!
Perfect for sharing together, this is a book for families of all kinds, everywhere.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The culture adviser of Queer Eye teams up with one of his sons in a tribute to both the parent-child relationship and the process of growing up. "Perfectly designed" serves as the book's refrain, as the father assures a confident boy that he has all that it takes to explore and succeed in the world, even when the boy gets "mad, or sad, or confused." Told in two voices, the narrative's tone is upbeat and earnest maybe, at times, a little more so than necessary but the authors make room for some mild family playfulness. Father and son recall going as waffles and (organic) maple syrup for Halloween, and as readers see a series of family photos arrayed on a table, the son notes, "When I was a baby, I looked just like you.... Only I had no hair, and you had lots. Now," referencing the older Brown's trademark bald pate, "it's the opposite." Illustrations by Syed (Bilal Cooks Daal) have a wide-eyed, Disney animation pep and exude a breezy spirit of inclusivity the end pages depict the protagonists surrounded by a wide range of happy couples and families (and the rest of the Fab Five). Ages 4 8.
