When we meet someone, one of the things we notice is the colour of their skin. But what can someone's skin colour tell us about them? Despite what some people say, your skin means very little! Inside we're all the same. Join Njabulo, Aisha, Tim, Chris and Roshni as they discover why humans have different skins, and how people's thinking about skin colour has changed throughout history. Skin We Are In is a celebration of the glorious human rainbow, both in South Africa and beyond. One of South Africa's best-selling authors, Sindiwe Magona, has teamed up with well-known American anthropologist, Nina G. Jablonski, and award-winning illustrator Lynn Fellman to create a much-needed book about race and skin colour – for children.

To assist teachers, the book contains many questions meant to help teachers critically examine existing practices and beliefs. The book also has practical exercises for learners, questions for teachers to ponder and discussions meant to bring new insights to the CAPS goals. It is especially the stories, poems, drama texts and spoken word pieces by the young writers that will capture readers’ imagination.
