In My Skin cover

An uplifting poem about children finding creative ways to embrace the world around them

Told by many different children as they sing, rise, reach, move, learn, hope, laugh, rest, remember and love, this gorgeous poem shows us that when you embrace the skin you’re in, you open yourself up to a world of possibilities.In my skin, I move. I spin like crinkly leaves on a windy day. I dance to my very own rhythm. In my skin, I hope. I dust myself off so I can take on tomorrow. I chase the rainbow that shines after the storm. Told by many different children as they sing, rise, reach, move, learn, hope, laugh, rest, remember and love, this gorgeous poem shows us that when you embrace the skin you’re in, you open yourself up to a world of possibilities.

“An affirming array of children demonstrate what it means to 'hope,' 'laugh,' and, ultimately, 'belong' in the skin and body we are given.” — Foreword Reviews


“This ode to our skin creates a welcoming space that invites readers to embrace and celebrate the skin we are in while also accepting others for their unique qualities and abilities.” — Youth Services Book Review
