This book has gorgeous art work with swirling colors and shiny pages. It's a heartbreaking story about how an African American girl has her face painted white by a mob of white men on her way home from school. Her brother who is walking with her gets beat up pretty bad too. After the incident, the girl will not come out of her room and feels like a complete loser until all her friends from school come and tell her how much they missed her. It could be a good book for discussing controversial issues like racism and bullying.
