Summary: 5 Stars
This rhythmic poem with pictures of children, encourages each of us to look in the mirror and celebrate who we are and the joy of friendship. This is a collection of simply presented thoughts about self-esteem, acceptance, and diversity.Our Preschooler loves the the rhymes and talks to the children staring at her from the page. We've had nightly requests for this book for more than a week now. What a great book! The message is visible in simple phrases with comparative language that young readers can comprehend. It offers kids a positive, new way to look at the world. Parents will enjoy the book as much for its fun as for its message. The illustrations are bright and engaging; and the poem is just what you want to introduce acceptance and the beauty of diversity ... without being onerous or dour.Book Review: A Wonderful Book
Summary: 5 Stars
As a Jewish father of four who is very conscientious about the social development of his children, this book will become the cornerstone of that concern. Every child should have it. Every adult should read it. Every school, library, synagogue, church and mosque should stock it. The Skin You Live In is what America needs in order to finally become "America, The Beautiful". The artwork and illustrations only further serve this point. The book is simply beautiful and transcends any other children's book ever written to overcome what divides us.
Book Review: WHAT THE WORLD NEEDS NOW
Summary: 5 Stars
The Skin You Live In is a wonderful book for a world full of children who need to feel special and good about themselves. Everyone looks different on the outside, but the basic human is the same on the inside. This teaches children and adults with rhyme and colorful pictures, about being themselves and accepting others for themselves. WE live in a world where hate,fear and prejudice are still around. Please stop the cycle by reading to your child and instilling in him the joy of all the different children in the world.Book Review: Don't Miss This Beautiful Book About All The Colors We All Come In!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book by the Chicago Children's Museum has a lovely rhythm and rhyme and is fun to read aloud along with providing a positive menu. It talks about all the beautiful colors people come in and how the reader loves their skin as well as the fact that they are what is inside of them not what color their skin is. No child is too old for this book which carries an important message of tolerance and self-esteem.Book Review: Review from Books That Heal Kids
Summary: 5 Stars
As an elementary school counselor, I depend on books like The Skin You Live in to help create, teach, and embrace social awareness and acceptance. This book is such a pleaser with students. They love how the author uses foods to describe skin color. I make sure to allow them to do a similar activity where they too can use the color of different foods to describe their own skin. Love this book!
