Beschreibung
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
