Goodreads

Chocolate Me follows a young, dark-skinned boy from being ashamed of his chocolate skin to him embracing and celebrating the way he looks. It is a charming story that will help kids learn to love themselves just as they are. As a picture book, this would be great, as a board book, it misses the mark. There are too many words on the pages for kids who read board books, and so it gets three stars only because this isn’t the right format. This book would be best shared with kids aged 5-7 in a one-on-one setting or in a small group read aloud.
