"A cheeky meditation on the everyday miraculousness of skin. . . . It's freewheeling fun." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review)
Is there anything more splendid than a baby's skin? Cocoa-brown, cinnamon, peaches and cream. As children grow, their clever skin does, too, enjoying hugs and tickles, protecting them inside and out, and making them one of a kind. Fran Manushkin's rollicking text and Lauren Tobia's delicious illustrations paint a breezy and irresistible picture of the human family -- and how wonderful it is to be just who you are.
