BROWN LIKE MOMMY — Lisa Carter

Kim has always wondered why she did not have brown skin like her mommy. It seemed unfair that her sister and brother had brown skin like her mommy. A lot of Kim's friends had brown skin too. When Kim started school, she saw different shades of skin. It made her feel better until she saw the other kids' parents. The kids at school had the same skin as their parents. After a series of events that made Kim sad, her father explained to Kim that her skin was beautiful because she had skin from both her mommy and daddy. Kim was now happy in her skin.
