Harriet Gets Carried Away by Jessie Sima
4.0

I read this book as part of the Book Riot 2020 Read Harder challenge for the category "Read a picture book with a human main character from a marginalized community".

In this book, Harriet is a person of colour with two dads. But unlike those who oppose books like this claim, it plays no factor in the story at all. It goes as deep as "Harriet saw her dads". Anyway, this aside, I loved the whimsical storyline, and I could see so many of the children I used to work with in Harriet. I enjoyed this thoroughly and as a picture book goes, this is a good one.
