Penguin Random House Children's UK Sulwe
Book SynopsisFrom Academy Award-winning actress Lupita Nyong''o comes a powerful, moving picture book about colourism, self-esteem and learning that true beauty comes from within.Sulwe''s skin is the colour of midnight. She''s darker than everyone in her family, and everyone at school.All she wants is to be beautiful and bright, like her mother and sister.Then a magical journey through the night sky opens her eyes and changes everything.In this stunning debut picture book, Lupita Nyong''o creates a whimsical and heartwarming story to inspire children to see their own unique beauty.Trade ReviewA thoughtfully layered text and powerful illustrations address this sensitive topic in a uniquely nurturing way * Kirkus Starred Review *By turns beguiling (as when Sulwe's mother counsels her tearful daughter) and magical (a shooting star darts into Sulwe's room to share the story of Night and Day), the volume also clearly conveys that colorism is real, and it hurts. Sulwe's story confronts it head-on, with words and images that celebrate the 'dark and beautiful, bright and strong.' * Publishers Weekly, starred review *A welcome celebration of Black girls, an important lesson for all kids (and grownups), and a necessary message for any child who has been made to feel unworthy of love on account of their looks * Booklist *Darkest in her family, Sulwe believes that her skin makes her unattractive and prays to be lighter, but when a shooting star tells her the story of sisters Night and Day, she finally understands that she doesn't need to change. Harrison's star-flecked glimmering illustrations evoke Night's mysterious beauty. * Guardian *

But when his dad squeezes his hand, Jabari squeezes back. He needs to figure out what kind of special jump to do anyway, and he should probably do some stretches before climbing up onto the diving board...In a sweet tale of overcoming your fears, debut author-illustrator Gaia Cornwall captures a moment at the swimming pool between a patient and encouraging father and a determined little boy you can't help but root for.Trade Review“This gently humorous, ‘building up the courage to embrace your fear’ book is sure to resonate with both children and adults alike: most of us have been there with Jabari’s dad, either as parent or teacher, as a child takes that plunge into the unknown: the idea of treating it as a ‘surprise’ is superb and will definitely ensure that wherever this is shared, it will create a pretty big SPLASH!.” * Red Reading Hub *A tender portrait of a parent gently guiding their child to process intertwined feelings of apprehension and excitement. The gentle text makes effective use of rhythm and repetition, while the soft mixed media illustrations play with perspective, enabling the reader to empathise with Jabari’s shifting emotions. * Children's Books Ireland - Mind Yourself *The build up of suspense is excellent. The reader can’t help but will Jabari on and will have all the happy feels when he achieves what he sets out to. * Books That Help *
