I fell in love at the very first page. The way the author make the analogy between Sulwe's family complexion and dawn-dusk-noon is so poetic. It mesmerized me and at the same time it tugged my heart. And I love the story about The Siblings Day and Night. That's such a brilliant way to tell children how to feel beautiful about themselves no matter how the color of their skins are. And the illustrations!!! God, they're so breathtakingly beautiful. Dreamy yet strong.

Sulwe is a picture book by actress Lupita Nyong'o about learning to accept and love the color of your skin. The titular character, Sulwe, is a little girl who at first envies her sister's fairer skin but in the end learns that her own skin color is just as beautiful.

So good for kiddos (and adults too). Reminded me that we all are truly beautiful!

A very lovely, well-written book with a very important message. The art is also gorgeous. A must-read for any child (many adults would benefit from it, as well).
