Mom and Dad say I'm a blend of dark and light:
"We mixed you perfectly, and got you just right."

Mike has awesome hair. He has LOTS of energy! His parents love him. And Mike is a PERFECT blend of the two of them.

Still, Mike has to answer LOTS of questions about being mixed. And he does, with LOTS of energy and joy in this charming story about a day in the life of a mixed-race child.

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Gr 2–5—A little boy with wildly curly hair navigates the social terrain of being a biracial child. Diggs's short, choppy, rhyming verses convey the busyness of a kid who likes "to go FAST!" All through his day he encounters people staring and asking questions. "See, my dad's a deep brown and my mom's rich cream and honey. Then people see me, and they look at us funny." Diggs very adeptly conveys the feelings a mixed child experiences and also brings a message of acceptance without being didactic. Evans's mixed-media watercolor and pencil illustrations are the perfect accompaniment to this well-written, fun story of acceptance, friendship, and love. The text, colors, and design make this a good choice for read-alouds, but there are many details in the artwork (usually containing the word mixed or a synonym thereof) that make it good for one-on-one sharing. VERDICT A stellar first purchase and a necessary book for all collections.—Jennifer Steib Simmons, Anderson County Library, SC

Review

“Mike's unerring sense of self (“I'm a beautiful blend of dark and light”) and the powerful love that surrounds him make this a rewarding, valuable read for families of any makeup.” ―Publisher's Weekly, starred review
“[A] well-written, fun story of acceptance, friendship, and love. The text, colors, and design make this a good choice for read-alouds, but there are many details in the artwork (usually containing the word “mixed” or a synonym thereof) that make it good for one-on-one sharing.” ―School Library Journal, starred review
“Some kids call him “Mixed-up Mike,” but the protagonist makes clear that he isn't mixed-up at all―just mixed . . . Mike's confidence in his own appearance and coolness as well as the way he proudly embodies diversity, including a certain level of androgyny, make this a refreshing read. Evans' integration of rough-textured fabrics into lively and colorful mixed-media illustrations will make readers want to reach out and touch them . . . If all kids had the confidence about who they are that Mike has, what a wonderful world this would be.” ―Kirkus Reviews, starred review
“For the millions of mixed-race Americans who have to endure the constant questioning of their identity, [Mike] has an answer: “I'm a beautiful blend of dark and light, / I was mixed up perfectly, / and I'm JUST RIGHT!” . . . The story's joyful message will resonate with multiracial readers and their families, leaving them with the cheeky takeaway: if you have a problem with me, it's your problem.” ―Booklist

Great book for mixed kids. We read it nearly every night. Mike looks exactly like my son did when he was 2-3!

My husband met the illustrator and order the book quickly after. It's a beautiful book that shows in simple language that being mixed is no different than other children. We both teared up reading it to our child, and we will keep reading it to her!

Didn’t love it... thought it was too cutesy and missed the mark

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

I’m Caucasian and my husband is African American. We thought this would be a helpful book for my 3.5 year old who is already starting to hear comments and questions about his skin color in preK3!! I was pretty disappointed in the book. It has catchy words and rhymes but it’s just really surface level and hasn’t helped address any of the tougher questions my son Is asking. Still searching for a better book on this topic for toddlers....

My son will point to the book and then to himself when he wants to read it. He's learning his favorite words from this book like "wow" "yeah" "hi" "bye" "don't touch" "dog". Hahaha. He also learned to wave hi and bye with this book. We read it every night.

Great great GREAT book!

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

This is a wonderful book that all kids will love. It's written very well, reads very well and is full of amazing illustrations that will keep your child involved in the story. It also speaks to the interracial couples that have children allowing confidence to become something that the child can grow with.

I love this book. My son is mixed and I want him to grow up knowing that race doesn't matter. This book is perfect for any parents that like to read to their kids especially if your child is mixed.

My husband read an article about this story and wanted me to buy it for our daughters. Cute story to remind our kids to appreciate biracial ethnicities.

Worth it, even if your kids are mixed between two other races

My kids are half Asian and half white, ages 5 and 3. I bought this book knowing it was written from the perspective of a mixed black-white kid, but I hoped it would be helpful...Read more

This will be an awesome book for my niece to read, since she is at the age where she is questioning where she fits in.
