Goodreads

A wonderfully illustrated board book that celebrates all the different shades of color that are seen in communities. The watercolor illustrations use bright vibrant colors in the background which complement the various shades of brown which are highlighted throughout the book. The author uses poetic verse and repeated lines to assist young readers with pronouncing words and sentences. The story shows a positive representation of vitiligo, which is a skin condition that is caused by loss of melanin in the skin. This book’s audience is young readers ages 3 through 5. This book is a great addition to any library collection because of the celebration of diversity and its inclusive content.
