Review from Books That Heal Kids

Ever wanted to open a discussion up with a child or a classroom about skin color? Diversity? Then this is your book! It is so beautifully written. I fell in love with Skin Again the moment I read it. I work as a school counselor and I was overcome with such an exciting feeling when I thought about sharing it with children. It's a book that helps children understand that we are more than just our skin color. What counts the most is what is within. Children soak up this message because that is how they are built. They are born to love and accept others. This book is a lovely reminder of that. Find room on your shelf for it.

Love it!

This book is great, like anything by bell hooks. My kids love it. It leads to some excellent conversations with them. :)
