'I wrote this to give dark-skin kids a chance to live in the world of imagination and magic.'
Lupita Nyong'o is adding author to her resume with a powerful children's book about self-acceptance -- drawing inspiration from her own childhood.
"I realized that it was in the omission of those words when it came to me, that made me feel unworthy and so it took a while for me to find my stride and learn to love the skin I'm in," she said."Sulwe," which means"star," is the main character in Nyong'o's book. Sulwe has"skin the color of midnight," but wants a lighter complexion. The little girl goes on a journey which opens her eyes to self-love and recognizing her own, unique beauty.
"[I] thought that in order to make it into the pages of books, you had to be light," she said."In fact, one of the first times I drew my family, I drew them with light skin. I used the cream-colored crayons and not the dark ones because I just didn't see that in books. I didn't think we belonged in books."
