A young boy wonders why he looks different from so many of his classmates, and his mother turns his question into a valuable learning opportunity. She teaches him about the science behind different skin colors. His mother then goes even further to teach him how wonderful it is to be different, and how what's on the inside truly matters.I read How Our Skin Sparkles to my two young boys and thought I would share their opinions as well as my own. My six-year-old enjoyed the message and said it reminded him of something he'd done in school. He lined up with his classmates, and they each held their arms out and observed how different and beautiful everyone's skin color was. I liked that this story reiterated what I work so hard to teach my children about being kind and accepting of all types of people. My son also enjoyed the description at the end of the book of the snack that the mother made for her children. He enjoys trying new foods from all over the world. My children liked the colorful illustrations, too. I loved the dedication at the beginning of the book, and I felt it summarized the central theme. "The moment you accept yourself and others, as they are, you grow exponentially." I believe this is a message that the whole world needs to hear right now. Reviewed by Sangeetha Narayan for Mompresso Aditi Wardhan Singh has tackled this question in a very sensitive manner. She explains the science of melanin and how some people have more and some have less of it, which results in different shades of color. She talks about every person's individuality. She stresses the importance of how our skin color informs people of our background and culture. She even mentions the story of little Krishna and how his mother tackled his innocent questions. But, what I liked the most about the story is that it places the most emphasis on the acts of kindness that helps human beings function sensitively. Overall, I was pretty impressed with the book. The book ends with some very good conversation starters such as what things do people have in common, how can we show acts of kindness to people in our lives, etc. This book would make a wonderful addition to any household with curious little children. I will be very happy to give this book a whole five stars.
