Happy in My Own Skin explores the life of a boy named Micah who has a unique and rare skin condition that is noticeable. In life, you can’t deny that everyone looks different, and people try to blend in with society, but in this book, you will discover that it’s okay to look different on the outside and to be happy in your own skin.
