To Love Your Skin
KJ, a curious young boy in Brooklyn, faces a crisis of confidence when he feels different from his peers. Overcoming obstacles and self-doubt, KJ embarks on a journey to discover the wisdom and beauty in his uniqueness.
KJ always loved exploring the bustling streets of Brooklyn. But lately, he felt different. At school, he noticed comments about his brown skin and curly hair. He wondered if being different was a bad thing. The question puzzled him. Could he love his skin even when others made it hard?
During recess, KJ overheard some classmates talking. " - KJ looks different," one said. His heart sank. He wanted to blend in and feel accepted. Unsure of how to change, he felt stuck. This was his first obstacle.
KJ tried to fit in by wearing a cap to hide his hair. " - Why the hat?" his friend asked. " - Just because," KJ replied, feeling embarrassed. But the hat couldn't hide his skin, and it didn't make him feel better. More obstacles piled up.
Frustration grew, and KJ considered giving up on ever feeling comfortable in his own skin. " - Maybe I should just stop trying," he thought. But deep down, KJ didn't want to lose hope. He still wished for a solution.
His grandmother noticed KJ's unhappiness. " - What's troubling you, KJ?" she asked gently. KJ explained his feelings. " - Your skin is your story," she said. " - It's beautiful and unique." Her words sparked a realization in KJ.
KJ embraced his grandmother's wisdom. He began to see his skin as a badge of honor. " - I like who I am," he declared to himself. With newfound confidence, he shared his story proudly at school. KJ learned to love his skin, and his heart felt lighter.
