No Scrub: My Black Skin Makes Me Beautiful
At Ariana's preschool, where 98% of the children are white, her Black skin stands out. In No Scrub: My Black Skin Makes Me Beautiful, Ariana faces a difficult moment when her classmate, Jessie, innocently suggests that washing her hands with soap and water could make her white. What follows is a heartwarming, empowering story about identity, self-worth, and the beauty of diversity. Based on a real-life event, and created through a thoughtful and thorough research process, this book serves as both a captivating tale and a tool for guiding conversations on race, self-worth, diversity, and inclusion.
