With plenty of sentimental books about belonging available, a fun
angle on the ties that bind members of the human family is
welcome...Following a light-skinned mother and her three children
(who share their father’s brown skin), Tobia (Baby’s Got the Blues)
creates an expansive, multicultural cast of urbanites enjoying
themselves at a park, at the public pool, and at a boisterous block
party. It’s freewheeling fun—a perfect book for the months when we
all try to wear as little as possible.
—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
The combination of lovingly humorous and detailed mixed-media
illustrations and infectious rhymes will cause little ones and
their families to pore over this book again and again.
—Kirkus Reviews
Happy in Our Skin paints a picture of an ideal world that
recognizes the value of diversity and shuns color blindness—a
positive message for ears of every age and color.
—Booklist Online
A delightful feel-good story.
