### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Great for Pre-Schoolers
  

*by J***R on Reviewed in the United States on August 15, 2016*

I Purchased this for my daughter, after she came home from pre-school telling us that her face was not perfect.  After talking with her and her cousin, we were made aware that she was being bullied in class by two other little girls. They only permitted her to play with certain dolls.We purchased this book, (along with other books), and we read it to her every night. She loves it!  In short, this book affirms who we all are, and introduces that concept at an early age.We talked to the teacher and resolved this issue. We purchased a second copy for her class, and it is read regularly by her pre-school teacher to the entire class. It has become a class favorite.  Her class is racially diverse, with 3 whites, 1 Hispanic (also white), 2 African Americans / blacks,  and 4 Asians (1 from china and 3 from India).  I was surprised that the school did not already have a similar book.  My daughter (as all children) is perfect!

    Not what you think
  

*by T***X on Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2019*

I bought this book for my friends who just adopted a baby who is a different racial background than they are. I was hoping this book was about being okay with who you are no matter your skin color, but it’s not. It’s mostly, literally, about skin. And it’s only a few pages long. Lame. I did like that one of the families in the book was same-sex so that’s what got it 2 stars.

    The title Happy in Our Skin by Fran Manushkin
  

*by G***T on Reviewed in the United States on April 25, 2016*

The title Happy in Our Skin by Fran Manushkin, illustrated by Lauren Tobia pretty much captures the message of this book. Richly diverse illustrations capture children and their families in various activities. Readers will notice that regardless of ethnicity, culture or physical ability, families interact and love the same. Children will also learn that skin has important function: “It keep the outsides out and the insides in.” All people have this in common. Skin presents obvious differences as well: color, texture, freckles, dimples, even goose pimples.Happy in Our Skin can create an easy opportunity to have some important conversations about race. This can help parents lay the groundwork for tolerance, acceptance and for the end of racism.#AAQ Lens:Race matters. “Color blindness” is a misguided strategy for nurturing racial harmony and racial identity. It is essential for transracial adoptive families to have consistent conversation on the topic. Parents must ensure that they are encouraging a reality-based discourse not one that is sanitized because it is easier to pretend race is less of an issue than it is.Adult adoptees who were adopted into transracial and/or trans-cultural families have raised their voices to proclaim the absolute necessity to tackle issues of race with courage and openness. Happy in Our Skin offers an easy conversation starter. Like many difficult adoption-connected conversations, it is best to begin discussions at a young age. --Gayle H. Swift, "ABC, Adoption & Me:A Multicultural Picture Book"
