Sulwe

Sulwe’s sister has skin the colour of high noon, but hers is the colour of midnight. Sulwe tries to become lighter, eating light coloured food, and rubbing her skin with an eraser, but nothing works. She’s unhappy, until, one night a shooting star takes her on a magical journey. As she hears the tale about Day and Night, Sulwe realises the value of night, and that her midnight skin is as beautiful as that of her sister. Written by award-winning actress Lupita Nyong’o, Sulwe is a lovely story about inclusivity, the perceptions of beauty, and loving yourself just as you are.
