One night, cuddled up on Mama&#8217;s lap, Izzy notices something she&#8217;s never noticed before: her skin is the colour of chocolate, but Mama&#8217;s skin is the colour of sand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When Izzy realizes she&#8217;s different from Mama in other ways, too, she feels sad and confused. She wants to be beautiful like Mama! But Mama addresses Izzy&#8217;s disappointment with a gentle, loving refrain: <em>You&#8217;re part of me, and I&#8217;m part of you. I&#8217;m beautiful like me, and you&#8217;re beautiful like you.<\/em> Finding lessons from nature and repeating her affirming message, Mama encourages Izzy to see her own unique beauty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This story about a multiracial child navigating identity and belonging draws from author Tasha Spillett-Sumner&#8217;s own experience growing up as an Afro-Indigenous girl. Lyrical text and warm, lively illustrations show Izzy&#8217;s journey as she learns to celebrate the differences that make her uniquely beautiful, and the connection to her mother that transcends physical traits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:5px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh7-us.googleusercontent.com\/taJI67Xv6o4QmhFKwIPE_mGSZ9HuBxso9GPCnr44pNDz0RM1oi-o1DVvWHhn3BlW93OWh2dYh3m4kSzbAvb-gYZRtLNSGFkMgfB2zRGXIbGTBnvJfWSoUSewhkoj5_qTgbm9YmcyeXmN6oqjcUYbhyg\" style=\"width: 300px\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:5px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bookclubs.scholastic.ca\/en\/-my-marvellous-mom-\/84442441-cec-ca.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>My Marvellous Mom<\/strong><\/a><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Moms are marvellous!
