Great Book To Teach Diversity

straightforward prose. Vivid illustrations of childrens activities for all

Personal Review: The Skin You Live In by Michael Tyler
We love this book! We received this as a gift from my mother who is a
retired 2nd grade teacher. I started reading this book to my son while he
played in the tub every night when he was only 7 months old. He is now
20 months and it is a part of our routine that he looks forward to every
evening. When I show him the cover he claps his hands and says,
"YAAAAAAAYYYY!" This year I am sending copies of this book to all of
my friends for their children. I have already started reading it to my 2
month old. It is such a feel good message. The illustrations are bright and
engaging for a child or adult of any age. The best part of all is the content.
Our favorite part of the book is, "You're not any of this, 'cause you're more
than you seem! You are all that you think and you hope and you dream!
You're a gifted creation with imagination! You're a new day desire to reach
even higher! You're the feelings that start from down deep in your heart!
You're the pride and the joy inside each girl and boy!" (As you can see, I
have read this book aloud so many times that I know it by heart. . . .you
will, too!)
