Excited to share a really helpful book about skin color and race that is done just so excellently well! It’s been out about a year and I had heard so many good things, I was thrilled to finally see it for myself and share it. A beautiful book that explains simply but scientifically how skin color occurs and how socially and historically it has been misused and misconstrued to divide and cause harm. This book covers a lot without overwhelming or being heavy-handed. Check out Our Skin by Megan Madison, Jessica Ralli, & Isabel Roxas, 2021.
