In this heartfelt story depicting true appreciation for one's skin color, it emphasises the importance of not only accepting others, but accepting and loving yourself. It relates to my children's book because it discusses the idea of race. Overall, this is a great story to empower young black children. This way the book represent a variety of cultural groups. I just wish that the author would have went deeper into the different shades of brown there were and possibly included more friends of different races. It made the story more inclusive for other cultural groups. Though, I did like how they included the white child in the story. The author just makes statements through out the book. Though, the book doesn't follow a typical story line. I liked how this book was easy to follow for a young reader and the illustrations made the story more intersting. ![]() The book concludes by basically stating that you should be proud of the skin you're in.

Towards the end of the story, the main character talks about their best friend, Shaun and how he's a lighter complexion. On each page, the author describes the skin tone of a character and how it makes them "one of a kind". ![]() In this story, a young girl talks about how her skin is unique. ![]()
