Day 25 Picture Book Frenzy: Sunflower Sisters by Monika Singh Gongotra and Michaela Dias-Hayes
In this heartwarming celebration of skin shades from sun-browned to autumn-leaf-gold, Amitra and Kiki get dressed for their siblings’ weddings while enduring family nitpicks about lightening cream, sun rays, and the skin-darkening effects of the color yellow. Luckily, Amitra’s mother has a lesson or two to teach about that! With the support and empowerment of their moms, the sunflower sisters are two strong, confident girls–one South Asian the other Nigerian–finding joy in their own skin. –Goodreads
Sunflower Sisters by Monika Singh GangotraMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
I am in love with this book and the colors of the pages! The growth of the characters, the embrace of who they are and the color of their skin, and the bond with the mothers was really special. Thank you Sourcebooks.
