Item Description

This donation is for five (5) children’s picture books, titled The Skin on My Chin. The Skin on My Chin is a fun rhyming picture book, for children ages 2 to 8, written as a tool for parents and teachers to begin or extend conversations about skin color, melanin, ancestry, diversity, race, stereotypes and prejudice. Also included is a child size (s) blue t-shirt that reads "Skin is Just Skin - I must get to know you, to learn what is true."

This is the first children's book by Michelle Chalmers, who lives in Wellesley, Massachusetts with her husband and two sons.

Michelle received a BSW from Wheelock College in Boston, an MSW from San Diego State University and is currently completing a graduate certificate in Diversity, Social Justice and Inclusion, at the University of Colorado, Colorado Springs.

Her passion has always been working with children, and after having children of her own, learned one of the best ways to help teach her children, was through books.

The Skin on My Chin was created to provide an opportunity for parents and teachers to engage in conversations with children about skin. Specifically, to talk about what skin does and what skin doesn't or can't do.

Item Special Note

This is a donation for five (5) childrens books and a child size small blue t-shirt.
