Synopsis
Maya, a sensitive and diligent eight-year-old girl, wants to draw the best portrait in art class. When Maya finds out that the shade the teacher calls "skin color" doesn't match her own, she feels torn between her truth and her desire to please the teacher and excel. Through her journey, Maya will discover the beauty in the different shades and colours that exist in the world. The story is inspired by conversations with our primary school students and carries the message that all shapes and colours of humanity are beautiful.
