This is a story to not only explain what Vitiligo is but also help kids feel better in their own skin. Awais is going to a new day at a new school and is very worried that people will make fun of his white patches of skin. However, a friend recognizes that differences are great and helps Awais gain confidence in himself. This book is a little overly long and while not preachy it definitely is a topic book. It’s a good book and I think kids would like it however, I’m not sure they pick it up without a specific reason to do so.
