A brave, beautifully told story of an Afro-American teen

 

dealing with colourism, racism and bullying – but given hope

 

by the power of an inspirational and kind teacher.

 

 

Maleeka suffers every day from the taunts of the other kids in

 

her class. If they’re not getting at her about her homemade clothes

 

or her good grades, it’s about her dark, black skin. When a new teacher, whose face is blotched with a startling white

 

patch, starts at their school, Maleeka can see there is bound

 

to be trouble for her too.

 

 

But the new teacher’s attitude surprises Maleeka.

 

 

Miss Saunders loves the skin she’s in. Can Maleeka learn to do

 

the same?

 

“The Skin I’m In is very much the same

 

book about colorism, self-love, and self-worth that it was twenty

 

years ago, and it is still as relevant as it is for today’s

 

world” Carrie McClain, Black Nerd Problems  Features a new introduction by New York Times bestselling

 

author Jason Reynolds.

 

 

A powerful, unflinching and hopeful story that redefined young

 

adult literature by presenting characters, voices, and real world

 

experiences that had not been fully seen before

 

The Skin I’m In has garnered much praise and awards

 

including the Coretta Scott King/John Steptoe Award for New Talent,
