Skin / by Napoli, Donna Jo,1948-author.(CARDINAL)351376;
Sixteen-year-old Sep stares into the bathroom mirror on the first day of school. It's not some weird lipstick, she didn't bump her lips or chew on ice. Her lips are just--white. In a panic, she digs up an old lipstick and smears it on her colorless lips. But soon, more and more white spots begin to bloom, spreading their chalky tendrils across her olive brown skin. Does she have a disease? Is she turning into some kind of freak? As the white blotches spread, her dating days seem numbered. This novel tells the empowering story of a strong, gifted teen who, as her life spins out of control, desperately tries to prove to the world--and herself--that she is deeper than skin.

Apple Black origins : the spectrum and the spectre / by Williams, Stephanie(Comic books writer),author.(CARDINAL)876189; Oguguo, Odunze,creator,illustrator.(CARDINAL)886816;
"Many years ago, humans acquired "Black" fruits from a tree that descended from the skies, turning humans into sorcerers. Although all of Black is now extinct, humans still have sorcery inherited from their ancestors. In this fantastical world of wands and sorcerers, The Ebony Peak wars led to the new regime of Eden, but its policy left behind many stricken and near-extinct tribes who've now formed rebellions against the new rule. In Apple Black Origins, a pivotal origin story about the fantastical world of Apple Black, Willow, a wild young sorceress with mysterious vitiligo, looks to end the discrimination towards her tribe and others by finding all the legendary Golden Wands, like the one she got from her father, to help balance the scales. She enlists the help of a powerful rogue sorcerer, Gideon Banburi, to find salvation, though he may be more trouble than she anticipates. Gideon and Willow are hunted by Rebels, secret organizations, and the new regime to find a wand using a map that was hidden within it. In time, it's revealed that Willow's vitiligo is actually the map that leads them to the wands--but not before treachery repeatedly crosses their path." --Rated T, Teen, 13+.

Woman of color / by Staubs, LaTonya Yvette,author.;
"LaTonya Yvette, the blogger and stylist behind the eponymous site, is unapologetically candid about life's trials, including motherhood, love, death, and racism. Her first book, Woman of Color, is part memoir, part lifestyle guide--packed with moving essays, gorgeous original and archival photographs, and practical style and beauty advice. At the very heart, though, it's about LaTonya's experience growing up as a woman of color in Brooklyn. Each beautifully designed chapter covers a different topic--the meaning behind her name, how vitiligo has shaped her definition of beauty, her childhood hairstyles, raising her children as a 20-something mom--and ends with thoughtful advice and lifestyle takeaways like how to tie a headwrap or incorporate new, bold colors into your wardrobe. Woman of Color is real life, real style for women from all walks of life. In it, LaTonya has written a love letter to women, filling this book with vulnerable, imperfect truths from a black woman blogger, a voice not often seen on bookstore shelves."--Amazon.com.
