I really wanted to like this book.  The author purposefully sets out a cadence, then does not stick to it.  She tries to rhyme, but when a rhyme doesn’t work, they don’t seem to care.  Examples, Kindness does not rhyme with happiness, nor does Melanin rhyme with amazing.   Then add that the story is long, and a bit complicated.  I like the message of the book, but it is delivered poorly.  This message has been done better, so I would leave this one on the shelf.
