미국의 유명한 흑인배우인 테이 딕스의 어렸을 적 이야기를 바탕으로 만든 유명한 그림책입니다.

흑인 소년은 피부색이 검고, 머리털은 곱슬이어서 친구들로부터 놀림을 받곤 했습니다. 그리고 넓고 평평한 코, 검은 얼굴에서 유난히 하얀 이빨도 역시 놀림을 당하는 대상이었지요. 집으로 돌아온 주인공 아이는 펑펑 울면서 엄마에게 왜 자신은 다른 애들과 다른 피부색깔과 모습을 하고 있는지 원망했습니다. 하지만 엄마는 초코렛을 예로 들면서 주인공 아이가 얼마나 완벽한지를 설명해 주네요. 그것은 바로...

What is 보드북? 보드북(Board Book)은 표지와 속지가 모두 두꺼운 카드보드지로 만들어진 책입니다. 잘 찢어지거나 구겨지지 않기 때문에 나이가 어린 아이들을 위한 책으로 주로 만들어지며, 책 내용도 원본에 비해 축약되는 경우가 많습니다. 주로 두장을 겹쳐 단단하고 오랫동안 눌려있을 경우 페이지와 페이지가 붙을 수 있습니다.

Book Description
A timely book about how it feels to be teased and taunted, and how each of us is sweet and lovely and delicious on the inside, no matter how we look.

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 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.



School Library Journal
“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.”


Publishers Weekly
“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.”


Essence
“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.”
