Coretta Scott King Award winner Ashley Bryan's adaptation of a tale from the Ila-speaking people of Zambia resonates both with rhythm and the tale's universal meanings--appreciating one's heritage and discovering the beauty within. His cut-paper artwork will charm and delight readers of all ages. Black is beautiful, uh-huh Long ago, Blackbird was voted the most beautiful bird in the forest. The other birds, who were colored red, yellow, blue, and green, were so envious that they begged Blackbird to paint their feathers with a touch of black so they could be beautiful too. Although Black-bird warns them that true beauty comes from within, the other birds persist and soon each is given a ring of black around their neck or a dot of black on their wings--markings that detail birds to this very day. Coretta Scott King Award-winner Ashley Bryan's adaptation of a tale from the Ila-speaking people of Zambia reso-nates both with rhythm and the tale's universal meanings -- appreciating one's heritage and discovering the beauty within. His cut-paper artwork is a joy.Binding Type: Hardcover

Perfect for a skin reset

Sometimes I just need to reset my skin and use gentle non-irritating products. This set is perfect. The thermal water spray is the BEST. I travel with it and it always keeps my skin calm. And hydrated.

Good for sensitive skin
Style: Updated Formula
It actually helps my skin. I had curology before this and still had breakouts around my lips and nose. After trading to this, it has calmed down a lot. No bumps or pimples.
This package is smaller samples to test out to see if it's good for you and your skin. Its really good for sensitive skin.
