Description

Maleeka Madison is a child with very low self-esteem due to the fact that she is darker skinned than most other black girls. In her new teacher, Miss Saunders, she encounters someone who, she feels, is worse off than she is, as Miss Saunders' skin is blotched with a rare skin condition. The teacher withstands the snickers and shouts from the students but can Maleeka accept friendship and accept the skin she's in?
