El color de tu piel, de Desirée Acevedo, ilustrado por Silvia Álvarez, es un vibrante libro ilustrado que desafía la idea de un solo crayón "color piel". Cuando la amiga de Vega le pide el lápiz "color piel", se da cuenta de que todos sus conocidos tienen un tono de piel diferente, y que la diversidad debe celebrarse, no simplificarse. A través de la curiosidad y la creatividad, los niños exploran los múltiples tonos que conforman su mundo, redefiniendo el verdadero significado del "color de piel". Para las aulas bilingües, este libro es una herramienta poderosa para hablar sobre la inclusión, la identidad y la importancia del lenguaje en la forma en que nos percibimos unos a otros.

For bilingual classrooms, this book is a powerful tool for discussing inclusion, identity, and the importance of language in shaping how we see each other.
