Being a mixed race child and not looking like your Mom can be tough. This children's book emphasizes how a child can look different from their parent and still match in many important ways.

I was picking up my oldest daughter from preschool. I read a list posted in the classroom that asked, What do you think is beautiful? Malika's answer was, I think my Momma is beautiful. Later, I thanked her for the complement. She asked if our skin color would match when she grew up. When she realized that we would never match she was devastated. This story tells of how I responded to her reaction, transforming a difficult moment in to one of beauty.
