A new girl has started at school, and we are told that ‘She’s just like me’. She has a doll, a little brother, a dog, a beautiful mother, a father who knows things and even a wobbly tooth, ‘Just like me.’ The two girls are very similar except for one thing—their skin colour. The story has its origins in a real-life pre-school experience where the author’s daughter could see no difference between herself and her new friend. A simple yet powerful story.
