Elizabeth ★★★★★

My daughter sat completely still through the whole thing, and the narrator's voice is so warm and soothing. The way it handles self-esteem and colorism is gentle but honest, perfect for bedtime.

Eva L. ★★★★★

This story tackles a tough topic so gently that my six-year-old understood it right away, and the narration by Lupita Nyong'o herself adds so much warmth and sincerity. It sparked a really good conversation about beauty standards afterward.

Leo ★★★★★

My daughter listened to this on her Yoto player three times in one weekend. The story tackles a tough topic in such a gentle, age-appropriate way.
