Horace
This kid's book is by Holly Keller. I give it 4.5 out of 5 stars.
Here is a summary from The Reading Tub:
"Horace is a leopard who was adopted by tigers when he was a baby. He wants to be with cats that looks just like him, and he sets off to discover just such a family. In the end, Horace learns that being loved has nothing to do with looking like anyone else."
We love that Horace wanted to seek out people that were like him. He wanted to know more about who he was (who doesn't?). At the end, he realized that it didn't matter if he had spots and his parents had stripes, but it did matter that his parents loved him and he loved them. Our favorite part of this book was at the end when Horace asks his mom "if you choose me, can I choose you too?"
