A child who looks different from her mother finds beauty and belonging in this new book from the creator of New York Times bestseller I Sang You Down from the StarsIzzys favorite place to be is in Mamas arms--skin to skin, safe and warm. One night, cuddled up on Mamas lap, Izzy notices something shes never noticed before: her skin is the color of chocolate, but Mamas skin is the color of sand. When Izzy realizes shes different from Mama in other ways, too, she feels sad and confused. She wants to be beautiful like Mama! But Mama addresses Izzys disappointment with a gentle, loving refrain: Youre part of me, and Im part of you. Im beautiful like me, and youre beautiful like you. Finding lessons from nature and repeating her affirming message, Mama encourages Izzy to see her own unique beauty. This story about a multiracial child navigating identity and belonging draws from author Tasha Spillett-Sumners own experience growing up as an Afro-Indigenous girl. Lyrical text and warm, lively illustrations show Izzys journey as she learns to celebrate the differences that make her uniquely beautiful, and the connection to her mother that transcends physical traits.
