Product description

A brave, beautifully told story of an Afro-American teen dealing with colourism, racism and bullying – but given hope by the power of an inspirational and kind teacher. Maleeka suffers every day from the taunts of the other kids in her class. If they’re not getting at her about her homemade clothes or her good grades, it’s about her dark, black skin. When a new teacher, whose face is blotched with a startling white patch, starts at their school, Maleeka can see there is bound to be trouble for her too. But the new teacher’s attitude surprises Maleeka. Miss Saunders loves the skin she’s in. Can Maleeka learn to do the same? The Skin I’m In is very much the same book about colorism, self-love, and self-worth that it was twenty years ago, and it is still as relevant as it is for today’s world”Carrie McClain, Black Nerd Problems
