Kenny loves purple, he loves eating spaghetti and riding his bike, and most of all he really loves his dog Ketchup. Kenny wonders if there is anyone else in the world like him, and sets out to discover the answer.
On Kenny's journey he discovers the things he shares with his friends and the community - a love of playing, adventure and making friends. And also things he's not so keen on like having his hair washed!
This is a lovely celebration of identity and belonging, the importance of unity and also of being proud of your own individuality. Joelle Avelino's colorful illustrations show a diverse range of children and adults and joyously complement the text.
Kenny is on a journey of discovery! He likes riding his bike and loves his dog, Ketchup. Is there anyone else in the world like him?
