“This charming picture book us[es] elegant similes to inspire young readers to love their skin and its imperfections. Young people who may be self-conscious of their personal appearance will appreciate Ward's message that our skin and personal appearance is the culmination of who we are.”
— Booklist
"In compelling, lyrical prose, Ward draws from her own family history and journey to self-acceptance to combat traditional East Asian beauty standards that idealize light skin. Abary’s digital illustrations in soft coastal hues pair beautifully with the story, subtly blending in Japanese visual elements with Hawaiian landscapes through patterns and textures. A radiant and joyful celebration of skin, family, and immigration."
