Oh, Charlie!
Meet Charlie, a young, brown-skinned girl who doesn’t feel comfortable with the way she looks. She doesn’t understand why her hair, her eyes, and even her skin look so different from the other children at her new school. How will she ever make friends there if she doesn’t look like them? Will anyone ever like her? When Sam, a boy in her class, reaches out to Charlie, how can she be sure he really wants to be her friend?

What will Charlie’s mom do when she picks her beloved daughter up from school and just knows that something is wrong? Can sharing the family photo album with Charlie possibly help her to feel any better? And what’s melanin anyway?

Join Charlie, Sam, and Charlie’s mom as this brown-skinned beauty learns to love the skin she’s in!
