I was sent a copy of this book by the publisher. All thoughts are my own.

"Not all thoughts need to become words in the world"

This is a much-needed and refreshing book. Amongst the darkness, we need to remember that we're not alone, and You Are Not Alone does just that. I loved the message and illustrations, a lot! 

It has non-binary, Black, Indigenous, and disability rep among the characters, introducing the reader to why they're here, their importance, and assuring readers like them (or not like them) that they are not alone in the world while sharing small ways you can help friends who may not be like you. This is a small step into allyship. I really admired the thought behind it and how detailed the illustrations were to make each character and their story significant.
