(3) 4-6 Biracial fraternal twins Minni and Keira's perceptions of race change when their African American grandmother enters them in a black preteen beauty pageant in North Carolina. Suddenly Minni's fair skin and red hair are overshadowed by her sister's "cinnamon-brown" complexion and dark curly hair. Well-developed characters drive this story filled with pathos and Southern-tinged humor.
