The Skin Im In Book Project #3

          The central idea of the book "The Skin Im In" by Sharon G. Flake is to love yourself no matter what you look like, how you dress, or who your associated with. In this story Maleeka who hates the skin shes in. A new teacher appears and has a scar on her face, a lot of kids start making fun of  Maleeka  for helping the new teacher my taunting her with words like "I don't see no pretty just a whole lotta black." at the beginning of the story words like this got to Maleeka but she soon realized that she shouldn't be ashamed with how she looks just because most people don't look the same, she should embrace her beauty and be proud of it.
