“I wrote Sulwe to inspire children (and everyone really!) to love the skin they are in & to see the beauty that radiates from within.”
Synopsis:
“Sulwe has skin the colour of midnight. She is darker than everyone in her family. She is darker than anyone in her school. Sulwe just wants to be beautiful and bright, like her mother and sister. Then a magical journey in the night sky opens her eyes and changes everything.”
