Pros

Here is some popular opinions about this book on one of online book review sites. This book is so beautiful that I had to buy it. What a simple but necessary concept of embracing the beauty of different skin colors, hair types, gifts and abilities. A good read for all little girls. The illustrations are bright and engaging, showing the happiness of a young child as she views the world around her. One of the greatest disappointments in the black community is centered around hair. This is a great book on self-esteem. The adults can have early conversation to the children about it and letting them know that they are beautiful. That African Americans range in the lightest of light, to the blackest of black and many colors in between. Regardless of our skin tone we have to accept people for who they are. Skin color does not determine ones character. [2]
