They love playing together at school, sharing laughs, and looking out for one another. Their friendship is real, but it has to stay a secret, and that makes them sad.\nEverything changes on report-card day when their teacher tells the parents how close the children are and how well they get along. This moment helps the parents realize that they were wrong to keep the kids apart. They apologize and allow the children to be friends freely—at school and at home.\nThis story gently teaches children that:\nFriendship is for everyone\nSkin color doesn’t decide who we can love\nBeing kind matters more than anything\nEvery person is special in their own way\nDifferent Shades of Beauty is a warm, honest book that helps children learn about acceptance, love, and the beauty of being different. It’s a great read for families, classrooms, and anyone who wants to teach kids about kindness and togetherness.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B0G6JZ8VR5\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.B0G6JZ8VR5.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Dixon, Barbara Hawkins|Studios, Faay Sheen\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item is very worn but is perfectly usable.
