What Are You? written by Donna Hoshide, is a children’s book about diversity at the dog park.
One day at the dog park, a curious group of inquisitive purebred puppies approaches Darby, a Maltipoo puppy, and asks her, “What are you?” After some confusion over their question, Darby proudly responds, and her answers prompt them to reflect on the question: Does breed truly matter?
