About this listen

 Award-winning author Sharon G. Flake crafts a remarkable story of one girl's struggle to accept herself.

Maleeka Madison is a dark skinned African-American girl. She feels uncomfortable and wishes she had lighter skin. When her teacher, Miss Saunders, who suffers from a rare skin condition, shows that there is more to people than the color of their skin, Maleeka learns to appreciate and accept who she truly is.

Sisi Aisha Johnson's gripping narration makes this story come alive.

I was Hooked, it’s Very Relatable

I LOVED THE BOOK. Read it in grade 8 and came back to re-read it at 25. Even better than the first read. I will pass on books like these to my students and children. Thank you Sharon
