My Skin, Your Skin

My Skin, Your Skin is a powerful and accessible book designed to help children and adults have meaningful conversations about race, racism, and anti-racism. At its heart, the book encourages children to develop self-love, self-esteem, and self-worth, celebrating who they are regardless of skin colour.

Written by producer, educator and consultant Laura Henry-Allain MBE, this book supports parents, teachers, and carers in explaining what racism is, why it is wrong, and what children can do if they witness or experience it. The content is thoughtful, reassuring, and empowering, helping children understand their role in creating a fairer and kinder world.

Beautifully illustrated throughout by Onyinye Iwu, the book is aimed at children aged 4 and up. Key words and concepts are clearly explained using child-friendly language and relatable examples, making complex ideas easy to understand and discuss. It also highlights the importance of recognising achievements and celebrating personal strengths.

Perfect for reading at home or in the classroom, My Skin, Your Skin supports children’s learning, confidence, and understanding, helping to build an anti-racist mindset from an early age and laying the foundations for life-long learning.
