It's Just Skin, Silly

Using simple science and interactive activities, Epi takes readers on an adventure through human history to find out why skin is the hardest working organ in the body business. Whether it’s how migration and climate changed our skin’s need for melanin, to why sweat is your body’s secret superpower, Epi’s got all the facts—and uses them to challenge false narratives about race and give kids the information they need to do the same.

It’s Just Skin, Silly! Is a clever, quirky illustrated children’s book on the evolution of skin color, based on research from expert anthropologist Dr. Nina Jablonski and historian Dr. Holly Y. McGee.
