Publisher's Synopsis
When Ayo goes to his first day of kindergarten, he meets a whole class of new friends. But he notices that no one else's skin is dark brown, like his. Does that mean there is something wrong with the way he is? But when Ayo asks his mom about it, she assures him that no skin color is better or worse than any other. He learns that we all have different amounts of something called melanin inside of us, which is what makes our skin look different colors. That is the only difference. When Ayo goes back to school, he sees all the different colors of skin in his class now, and he realizes how every color is lucky and beautiful in its own way-including his!
