Even with that I feel what gives this story life is the beautiful art & illustrations, Sulwe shinned like a star as a result, so I give a applause to Vashti for a great job she did for the art of the book. This children's story is beautifully written and illustrated.
Goddess of Chaos
That said, I wonder if it should be used with care. The illustrations are beautiful, a style to the new Disney movies.

Overall Thoughts:Your beautiful black child will thank you later. a nicely told story about accepting ourselves, it gets better with each page, and ends particularly well. This book is a must.

In the right hands, at the right time, this book will without doubt change lives for the better. Few stories now come with covers.

so gutted as it was a birthdah gift for this friday. The protagonist is humiliated by having a skin tone too dark compared to her schoolmates, who are more caramel. The English vocabulary is not very difficult. It would be fantastic to use to support a troubled child who has been suffering racism but also as an educational tool, perhaps, to the perpetrators.

Even any age people can read this book. The book is quite large, hardcover with paper covers that protect it. I imagine that if Sulwe contained 0 words, I'd still be able to thoroughly experience all of its magic. My kids 5yr and 10yr loved this book so much.
