Love Has No Skin Tone: A Lesson About Social Justice - Paperback

by Michol M. Whitney (Author), Kayla Hargrove (Illustrator)

In May of 2020, Nova is excited to go grocery shopping with her family. Little did she know, due to civil unrest, rioters damaged the stores where she usually shops. Her family drives to a store in a beautiful neighborhood far from where they live. As they arrive at the grocery store, the family is confronted by an angry man who does not want them there. The man's despicable behavior traumatizes Nova, and she wants to go back to her neighborhood.

This racist experience allowed Nova's parents to help her recognize and confront racism. Her parents have an open and honest discussion with her about diversity, inclusivity, and discrimination.

Nova learns that love has no skin tone and that it is better to treat everyone with kindness and respect.
