Daddy's brown is autumn leaf, or like a field of wheat. Granny's brown is like honey, and Papa's like caramel. In this loving and lovely ode to the color brown, a boy describes the many beautiful hues of his family, including his own--gingerbread. <br><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>**STARRED REVIEW** <br> "A timely book to combat stereotypes and encourage the celebration of skin colors of Black and brown people."--<i><b>Kirkus</b></i><br><br>"Children will love hearing familiar words such as cinnamon, chocolate, gingerbread, and copper to describe the family.
