In a world that regularly attempts to assert that darker skin, that brown skin, isn't worthy, this particular read is endearing and lovingly ready to be a contender to such attitudes." --<i><b>Black Nerd Problems</b></i> <p/>Warm images of children and loving adults in gold and dark browns hues complement the rhyming, poetic text, which is set in a large type that emulates hand printing. Perfect for responding to or preventing the feelings of inadequacy that too often plague brown-skinned children, this book begs to be shared as a read-aloud with cuddles. Soul food. -- <i><b>Kirkus Reviews<br></b></i><br>When a brown-skinned child proclaims that their skin color is pink, their mother rejoins with a rhyming poem that celebrates the beauty of brown in myriad forms. (T)he text... provides a creative and uplifting celebration of brownness. Warm digital spreads by Akem, in her picture book debut, extend the poem's messages with stippled, textured digital backgrounds in wide-ranging shades of brown.-- <b><i>Publishers Weekly</i></b><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Charlotte Watson Sherman</b> grew up in Seattle, a city with natural beauty that inspired her love for the color brown (and green and blue).
