Annotation:
The story is written in nursery rhyme and can be read aloud: “The skin you’re all day in;…the skin that you snuggle up, cuddle up, lay in…” etc. Children who are aged 4-8 will enjoy it. The book is about different skin tones of human body around the world. Though the topic is simple and natural scene, the author is delivering an important message to children about different but similar, self-acceptance.
The illustrator of the book vividly illustrated all sort of activities that children can easily relate to their daily activities, like swimming, chasing butterflies, eating cakes, etc. The colour and unique smiling faces is eye catching.
