Reddit reviews The Skin You Live In

There are lots of great picture books featuring strong, confident girls with dark skin. Try I Am Enough, Princess Hair, Mary Had A Little Glam, I Love My Hair, I Got the Ryhthm, and I Like Myself. If your family is religious, When God Made You could be another good one. I would also suggest a few books that specifically address differences in skin color, such as The Colors of Us, Happy In Our Skin, or The Skin You Live In.
