Publisher Description: Playing princesses with her twin daughters one day, Author J. Tillman noticed that her daughters chose dolls and images that did not reflect their features. Ms. Tillman felt that she needed to create a source of empowerment and acceptance for her children and other children of color because society and the media has established a standard of beauty that is not consistent with the growing diversity of the world. Just Like Me teaches young children to love their appearance from the inside out regardless of what they see on TV while respecting and embracing other forms of beauty. |
