“The skin I’m in is magic, as warm as golden light.
It holds the stars, the earth, the sky, and makes me shine so bright.”
Celebrating self-love, identity, and diversity, The Skin I’m In Is Magic empowers children to embrace their unique beauty and the stories their skin holds, and reminds young readers that their skin – no matter its shade, freckles, birthmarks, or vitiligo – is special, strong, and full of magic.
Perfect for anti-racist families, educators, and caregivers, this heartfelt book encourages conversations about race, representation, and self-acceptance. It’s a must-have for children of all backgrounds, especially those who may feel different or want to see themselves reflected in the pages of a book.
This book also includes hands-on activities and thoughtful discussion questions to help children explore self-love, diversity, and standing up for others in a meaningful way.
For ages 3-8

Elle Carter Neal is the author of the middle-grade chapter book The Convoluted Key, picture book I Own All the Blue, and teen science-fantasy novel Madison Lane and the Wand of Rasputin. She has been telling stories for as long as she can remember, holding childhood slumber-party audiences entranced until the early hours of the morning. Elle decided to be an author the day she discovered that real people wrote books and that writing books was a real job.
