First off, I want to say that I absolutely love the premise of this book and the idea of embracing and loving one’s own differences! I think many children struggle with feeling different, and seeing characters like Allie can be helpful for them to process their own similar experiences. I’m not sure if it was the font itself or the formatting of it within the book, but some pages felt like there was too much text per page, and it was a little difficult to read when it ran over the colored illustrations themselves. All in all I think it was a cute concept for a book and would enjoy reading with younger students & children!

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review!

Allie the Albino Squirrel by E.K. McCoy is a wonderful children's book about acceptance that will appeal to fans of The Berenstain Bears and the TV show Arthur. The story revolves around Allie, who is about t0 go to her first day of kindergarten. Unlike other children, Allie is the only albino squirrel in the whole woods. She's scared that the other children will make fun of the color of her fur.

Overall, Allie the Albino Squirrel is an absolutely lovely children's book that will teach children about acceptance, being brave, and conquering your fears. One highlight of this book is the adorable artwork. The pictures are cute, lovely, and detailed, which is all you can ask for from a book. Another highlight is the light-hearted story, which never veers into bullying or anything unpleasant. If you're intrigued by the description, I highly recommend that you check out this book when it comes out in April!
