A poem about the beauty of a baby's skin introduces readers to a mixed family whose children learn the importance of celebrating our diversity.

Katie, her father, JoJo, and Pedro are on a special sleepover at the museum; but at night the dark halls are spooky, and it is easy to imagine that the dinosaurs are ghosts haunting the museum--and when Mr. Woo disappears the children become frightened.

When heavy rain causes flooding, Katie Woo and her parents spend the night in a shelter.

Katie Woo learns different ways to cope with the death of her dog.
