Both have orange hair, love milk, start their days with stretches, appreciate a good nap, and are brave (some of the time). The narrator is more like Mom, with wild hair, blue eyes, and a love of dancing. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e A surprising twist at the end reveals the narrator's unexpected identity, also hinted at with clues in the art throughout the book. Warmth and whimsy in the illustrations add a playful balance to the story's deeper message about the love that makes a family a unit, no matter how unusual it may look from the outside.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eLam, Thao:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eTHAO LAM\u003c\/b\u003e is the critically acclaimed author\/illustrator of \u003ci\u003eTHAO\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eWallpaper\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eMy Cat Looks Like My Dad\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eSkunk on a String\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Paper Boat\u003c\/i\u003e, named a best book of 2020 by \u003ci\u003eKirkus\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e, NYPL, and others .
