The Skin You Live In by Michael Tyler
The Skin You Live In by Michael Tyler is phenomenal! Every child and adult should be required to read this book. It is basically about being comfortable in you own skin and how we are all humans and equals even though we look different. The book describes what people are and are not. The metaphors relating to skin colors are bold but simple. The author shows similarities across cultures and emphasizes acceptance of diversity . It is an easy read yet the message is so powerful. I definitely recommend this book to have in the classroom.
