The Girl Who was the Colour of Nothing uses the concept of a children's book to explore the concept of colourism in a way that enagages both adult and young readers. It dives into societal beauty standards that equate lighter skin with desirability and attractiveness, and seeks to question norms perpetuated by adults and how they harm the self-esteem of children.
