Lacinda is born with bright red hair, big blue eyes, and a smattering of freckles: a striking contrast to the usual golden-furred lions around her. Her family, her classmates, even her teacher\u2014none of them quite know what to make of her. Their repeated refrain? \u201cI\u2019ve never seen a lion like Lacinda before.\u201d And Lacinda? She\u2019s just trying to find her place. Davis keeps the text simple, repetitive, and rhythmic\u2014just right for early readers, though the \u201cthey didn\u2019t know what to think\u201d refrain may feel a bit overplayed. The illustrations are full of bright, inviting hues and mirror Lacinda\u2019s artistic spirit as well as the book\u2019s core message. While the plot doesn\u2019t veer far from familiar \u201cbe yourself\u201d territory, it delivers its lesson with warmth and sincerity.
