Free PDF Ebook Chocolate Me!, by Taye Diggs
The boy is teased for looking different than the other kids. His skin is darker, his hair curlier. He tells his mother he wishes he could be more like everyone else. And she helps him to see how beautiful he really, truly is.
For years before they both achieved acclaim in their respective professions, good friends Taye Diggs and Shane W. Evans wanted to collaborate on Chocolate Me!, a book based on experiences of being African American, feeling different and trying to fit in as kids. Now, both men are fathers and see more than ever the need for a picture book that encourages all people, especially kids, to love themselves.

A Look Inside Chocolate Me!
Review
“With its universal themes of wanting to fit in, self-acceptance, and self-esteem, this read-aloud offering is sure to strike a chord with many young readers/listeners, and on a variety of subjects, not just race.” ―School Library Journal
“Taye Diggs can act and sing, and now he proves he can write. With Chocolate Me!, the affable Diggs makes an assured foray into the children's book category. Lavishly illustrated by Shane W. Evans, Chocolate embraces a difficult topic with wide arms: colorism.” ―Essence
“Actor Diggs, making his children's book debut, gives an unvarnished take on the emotional impact of taunting that cuts to the core of one's identity… Evans makes the hero's journey to confidence irresistible, with bighearted, stylized pictures that draw on the emotionally exuberant vocabulary of street art and anime.” ―Publishers Weekly

I immediately loved the title and the concept. I have two kids with different colored skin than eachother. I thought this would be a fun read for them while also showing them that they should embrace their differences. It has fun illustrations and simple story line. My fave part is when the main character's mother tells her son, "Your smile makes me so happy, I could cry. No amount of real money could buy how it makes me feel for real." I hope you enjoy it as much as my family does.

Don't Teach Your Kids Shame & Inferiority Regarding Skin Color By shopping lady This is a man with serious psychological issues regarding his own dark skin. Please do not read this book to your child & pass along messages of teasing and inferiority to children of any race/color. As an example, in this book the description of the child's natural features make him some kind of other because he is "different." Diggs has also written a book called Mixed Me. In that description the child is "perfect", "just right" with "lots of energy" and "awesome hair." There is a jarring negative connotation regarding the dark child in Chocolate Me, while the mixed child starts out as perfect. Many kids have not been exposed to this kind of skin shaming and there's no need for adults to teach it to them.Chocolate me description:The boy is teased for looking different than the other kids.

He has LOTS of energy! His parents love him. And Mike is a PERFECT blend of the two of them.Still, Mike has to answer LOTS of questions about being mixed. And he does, with LOTS of energy and joy in this charming story about a day in the life of a mixed-race child.

Negative messages for my daughter By Amazon Customer The majority of the pages in this book depict the ways that other kids make fun of the African American main character. E.g., "Your skin is brown like dirt. Does it hurt to wash off?" What?! Not the message I want my brown daughter to learn. That was how I grew up -- we need to teach new messages to the new generation. I imagine this book could be useful to teach kids how to deal with teasing, but my daughter is too young to have been exposed to any teasing. So, not a book I recommend for pre-school age kids.
