Twins - One Black & One White: Skin Tone, Nationality, and Ethnicity
Paperback
(Independently published April 20, 2019)
When two new girls show up at Central, some of the class is convinced that one of them was really adopted. How can the class solve this new mystery?This story was inspired by the April 2018 issue of National Geographic, about the twins Millie & Marcia Biggs, who were featured due to the stunning differences in their skin colors. The book starts with the question in mind, "What if these two girls suddenly transferred into Central?"After introducing the twins and the questions that arise with the other students, the story goes on to discuss how different skin tones originated, how skin tone is primarily influenced today, and what nationality and ethnicity are in terms of personal identity. There is also an activity for children that replaces the traditional "family tree", and coincides with today's diverse family unit and support system, with the purpose of helping children feel comfortable with their own unique identity, whether they are in a "traditional" family unit, blended family, are adopted, in foster care, or in any other situation.This is the fourth book about the characters in the class at Central: 1) I Kicked the Ball in Gym Class (Self Esteem & Being Different), 2) School Day Worries (Anxiety & Thought Patterns), 3) The Anti-Bullying Project (includes 75 pages of activities and worksheets), and 4) Twins: One Black & One White. This book contains a vocabulary list at the back with definitions, and an activity page (stamped with permission to photocopy that page for educational purposes) as do some of the other books in the series.
