A timely book about how it feels to be teased and taunted, and how
each of us is sweet and lovely and delicious on the inside, no matter
how we look.
The boy is teased for looking different than the other kids. His skin is
darker, his hair curlier. He tells his mother he wishes he could be more
like everyone else. And she helps him to see how beautiful he really,
truly is.
For years before they both achieved acclaim in their respective
professions, good friends Taye Diggs and Shane W. Evans wanted to
collaborate on Chocolate Me!, a book based on experiences of feeling
different and trying to fit in as kids. Now, both men are fathers and
see more than ever the need for a picture book that encourages all
people, especially kids, to love themselves.
