“I’ll take off my skin. Will you take off yours?” A free-verse story by Newbery Honor author Julius Lester.
Beneath our skin
I look like you and you look like me
and she looks like her and him
and he loos like him and her
and we look like them and they look like us.
Award winners Julius Lester and Karen Barbour deliver an original and boldly painted provocative exploration of the commonalities we share and the details that make each of us unique.
