The Same Inside
Even though we all look different on the outside, our bodies work in the same way on the inside!
Skin comes in many colours because everybody’s skin has a different amount of melanin in it.
People with darker skin have more melanin, and people with paler skin have less. Some people are born with no melanin at all – this is called albinism.
Sometimes our bodies might need a bit of extra help. Some people wear glasses to help them see or hearing aids to help them hear. Some people use mobility aids to help them move around.
