Fudgesicle is a colorful, positive story of a young girl’s introduction to a chocolate-flavored
Bermuda fudgesicle. Together, Novi and her mom discover how different fudgesicles can be
compared to various brown skin tones, including her own. During their day’s journey, Novi
experiences disappointment and joy and learns self-awareness, self-image, and self-confidence
lessons. Like Novi, no matter your life experiences, there’s always a fudgesicle delight in you. This
beautifully illustrated book includes a blank coloring page so readers can color Novi and a sticker
page of art featured in the story.
