A story of difference and self-worth

A boy who is teased for his darker skin and curlier hair wishes he looked more like the other children. His mother helps him recognize his own beauty, framing the story around self-acceptance and the harm that teasing can cause. The book’s premise grows from Taye Diggs and Shane W. Evans’s stated childhood experiences of feeling different and trying to fit in, connecting its family story to questions of appearance, belonging, and loving oneself.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 exploring self-acceptance and confidence
  • Families seeking a picture book about teasing and feeling different
  • Readers interested in stories that affirm Black children and identity

Book overview

A timely book about how it feels to be teased and taunted, and how each of us is sweet and lovely and delicious on the inside, no matter how we look.

The boy is teased for looking different than the other kids. His skin is darker, his hair curlier. He tells his mother he wishes he could be more like everyone else. And she helps him to see how beautiful he really, truly is.

For years before they both achieved acclaim in their respective professions, good friends Taye Diggs and Shane W. Evans wanted to collaborate on Chocolate Me!, a book based on experiences of feeling different and trying to fit in as kids. Now, both men are fathers and see more than ever the need for a picture book that encourages all people, especially kids, to love themselves.
