Jyoti’s art-and-craft-based book takes you on a playful and creative discovery to find answers that work for you and your family—while creatively introducing facts of history and 15-plus new words. Make art. Perform a play for the nanas when they’re in town. Eat a yummy homemade dessert. Ooh! and aah! about how each member of the family has a different skin color.</p><p>Utilize this educational tool that sets the context for the hard conversations about self-awareness color discrimination and identity. Subjects included in the book are biology about skin (melanin genes adaptation); culturally-related aspects (food art practices region/ethnicity); colorism's social impact (bullying media bias) and solutions (bystander intervention activism and media literacy).</p><p>Illustrated by Tarannum Pasricha Different Differenter reflects the world of the child in all its diverse exuberance.
