My Skin Your Skin is a powerful book to help children and adults
have meaningful discussions about race and anti-racism. Most
importantly, the book empowers children to be the best versions of
themselves; to have self-love, self-esteem and self-worth,
irrespective of their skin colour. This book was specifically
written by Early Years expert and children's media creator, Laura
Henry-Allain MBE, to support parents, teachers and carers to
explain what racism is, why it is wrong, and what children can do
if they see it or experience it. It also explores how important it
is for children to celebrate their achievements and greatness.
Fully-illustrated throughout by talented illustrator Onyinye Iwu,
My Skin, Your Skin is aimed at children aged four and above.
Containing explanations on key words and concepts written in
child-friendly, accessible language, with relatable examples, this
book supports children's understanding in building an anti-racist
stance from an early age. It is perfect to read at home, and in
classrooms, to support your child's life-long learning journey.
