Description:

Sulwe has skin the color of midnight, and she wishes she looked more like her mother and sister, whose skin is lighter and brighter. She feels sad and different, wanting so badly to be seen as beautiful. One night, a shooting star visits Sulwe and tells her a magical story about Day and Night, and why both are needed and special. Through this gentle tale, Sulwe begins to understand her own beauty and worth. This heartfelt picture book, written by actress Lupita Nyong'o, gently teaches children about self-love, confidence and celebrating the skin they are in.
