I Am White, I Am Black: A Story about Friendship and Science

I Am White, I Am Black is a heartwarming story about two little girls, Lila and Zuri, and their wise pink hawk friend, Halo. Through playful adventures and simple science, children learn how sunlight, melanin, and climate shape our skin color and how every heart and brain work the same inside.

Halo teaches that our differences are nature’s art, and our similarities are love’s design. With stunning pastel illustrations and gentle storytelling, this book celebrates diversity, inclusion, and friendship in a way children can understand and cherish.
