This book focuses on Sulwe, a little girl who doesn't like the color of her skin because her older sister Mich has lighter skin and gets pretty compliments, so Sulwe goes on this journey with a start to discover that she is neede to balance her sister skin with her own which make them both unique.
This book is great for addressing the uniqueness of ones individual skin and that no matter the color you are unique in more than one way and that no two snowflakes are a like.

This book was everything I hoped it would be. Beautiful illustrations and an even more beautiful message. Every child should have this book read to them.

From Kirkus: "A thoughtfully layered text and powerful illustrations address this sensitive topic in a uniquely nurturing way."
