informative lighthearted medium-paced

 
This book is exactly what is imagined from the cover. It teaches children that they are a puzzle peace in this world and that everyone is different and has an exact place they fit in. That if they’re feeling out of sorts or unfocused or like they just don’t belong it’s probably because they’re trying to fit themselves into the wrong puzzle location. The metaphor is not bad. The author does a good job of making it make sense for a younger audience. The illustrations are soft and dreamlike, and kids will like this book. It is a little heavy handed so I’m not sure if it’s a “read more than once” book, but it wasn’t bad.
