在我的印象里，写书是很难的事。可能是因为毕竟大多数人既没什么机会写书，更没什么机会出版自己写的书，所以，老师从来不教。像我这样的人，虽然受了十几年的教育，竟不知道一本书应该怎么写。
而在西方教育体制下长大的孩子却绝然不同，他们非常会表达自己的思想，学校教育也很重视培养和开发学生的思维能力。比如说，老师从一年级开始就教他们写书并将给别人听，所以等他们长大了，绝不会认为写书、演讲是什么难事儿。
Under My Skin 是女儿刚为 7 岁的小学生写的有关反对种族歧视的一本图画书，也是她的一项学校作业，自己编故事，然后画插图，花了不少时间。她看着自己忙碌之后取得的成绩，兴奋得不得了。
能力都是锻炼出来的，看着她一天天进步，我从心里为她感到高兴 。非常感谢老师付出的辛勤劳动啊！
Under My Skin
Book Cover
In a far far away small peaceful red barn, there lived families of happy animals.
Among those families, there is a daddy sheep, Kevin and his son Scott. There’s a yellow girl chick, Cindy, living with he mommy hen. Finally there’s the young black goat called Mohammed.
Scott, Mohammed and Cindy are best friend.
One day, Mohammed went up to the Scott’s grassland, but Kevin saw Mohammed.
Kevin was very angry. He yelled “ Only white animals can eat there. Black goats make the grass die. Get off this land! ” 
Mohammed didn’t understand why his friend’s daddy was being mean. He started to cry.
Cindy was walking across the grassland. She saw Mohammed crying near the river.
Cindy asked, “What’s wrong? Who made you cry?” 
Mohammed looked up. “Scott’s daddy said that I’ll make grass die if I eat it.”
Cindy was surprised. “He was just being mean. Let’s go talk to them about this.”
Cindy and Mohammed went back to the sheep’s grassland. Scott and Kevin were eating grass.
Kevin yelled “Baa…baa…baa…why are you here? I told you to leave.”
Cindy got upset. She said “We are all barn animals and equal. We shouldn’t judge others because of their outside colour. It’s inside that matters. ”
Scott looked at his daddy and said “Baa…baa…baa…I can’t believe you said that to my friend daddy! That was stereotyping! ”
Kevin was very confused. “What’s stereotyping?”
“It’s when someone gets a set image of something not caring that every animal is different.” 
Kevin felt very bad. He lowered his head and said, “Sorry, but that was just the image I got. How about you come over for dinner tonight?”
“Sure.” Said Mohammed, and everyone smiled once again.
