Out now, ‘My Skin, Your Skin’ aims to support parents, teachers and carers to explain and answer questions about racism, why it is wrong and what children can do if they see or experience it.

It is hoped the book will inspire children aged four plus to be the best versions of themselves and celebrate their uniqueness.

Illustrated by Onyinye Iwu, ‘My Skin, Your Skin’ contains explanations of keywords and concepts written in child-friendly, accessible language, with relatable examples to help young children navigate the world around them.
