Description
In a world where color carries meaning and belonging is never guaranteed, a young narrator confronts the quiet rules that shape identity—especially when the “right” shade doesn’t feel like home. As the story unfolds, the narrator navigates shifting perceptions, small acts of courage, and the emotional weight of being misunderstood, all while searching for language that can hold their truth. With lyrical, accessible storytelling and Jillian Tamaki’s distinctive, intimate approach, the book explores themes of self-discovery, empathy, and the power of names and labels. Part coming-of-age and part reflection on how we see one another, it offers a hopeful, resonant journey toward acceptance—both from others and from within.
