Maleeka suffers every day from taunts about her dark, black skin
from other kids. When a new teacher, whose face is blotched with
a white patch, starts at their school, Maleeka can see there is bound
to be trouble for her too. But the new teacher's attitude surprises
Maleeka. Miss Saunders loves the skin she's in. Can Maleeka
learn to do the same?
A brave, beautifully told story of an Afro-American teen
dealing with colourism, racism and bullying - but given hope
by the power of an inspirational and kind teacher.
