Cinnamon Girl

“‘I’m just a little girl with a little curl.
Because of my skin, I’m called Cinnamon Girl…
But because I appear different, I stand apart.
No one seems to know how I feel in my heart…’”
A darling little girl of color explains how life is from her point of view. Her wise teacher suggests that her classmates look at each other. They discover differences everywhere and come to realize that, “If we all looked the same, life would be so very plain.”
