by Laura Purdie Salas (Author) and Chiara Fedele (Illustrator)
@ Amazon | Bookshop

No Bad Parts!

No Bad Parts!
by Richard Schwartz Ph.D. (Author), Bethany Hegedus (Author), Kate Fedos (Illustrator)
@ Amazon | Bookshop

Booktalk: As a boy goes through his day, he encounters all sorts of people and experiences. He reacts differently depending on the situation.
