This picture book takes a cheerful look at human diversity by focusing on skin. Rhyming verses describe the many experiences that can be had in it ; the different shades in which it comes ; and the things that it is not.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Encourages acceptance and diversity submitted by cbrewster on August 20, 2013, 9:43am A great book for young children. Teaches children that everyone looks different, but those differences are wonderful and should be embraced. The only thing I thought was odd, was how long the children's arms were in comparison to the rest of their bodies; I didn't understand what purpose that served?

Cartoonish illustrations, message about humanity submitted by willow on August 17, 2015, 10:34am The book consists of a poem about skin, illustrated with cartoonish and somewhat garish illustrations. It includes interracial families and individuals of varying skin colors. The emphasis is on who we are as people and being decent people.
