No Color in Friendship

by Chasity Collins, Kat Powell (Illustrator)

Overview

Best friends are hard to find, harder to leave, and impossible to forget. For shy and often misunderstood Sasha, the idea of having true friends seemed impossible. Wherever she went, she was scared of being looked down on because her darker skin made her different from everyone else. But that all changed the day she met Khloe and Carly. Together Khole and Carly taught Sasha that true friendship has no boundaries, is unconditional, and lasts a lifetime. No Color in Friendship is a touching children's book based on the true-life friendship of author, Chasity Collins. This book is dedicated to all young girls struggling to understand where they fit in, if they are loved, and what lasting friendships genuinely mean. No Color in Friendship will be an instant, endearing classic as it teaches young girls everywhere that friendship, like true beauty, is defined by what is on the inside.
