This was a really good book to explain different types of skin colors. I think this book is good for older kids who need an understanding of skin tones. The illustrations are really good at explaining what the story is about. It has different color schemes but I think this would be a good book for older kids who are trying to learn the difference in skin colors. ( )

This book talks about different skin colors and how everyone is loved. Great book ! ( )

Can be a confusing read ( )

Classic, nice entry in the "celebrate diversity" genre of kids books. About an interracial family, so a nice change from the more common version of all the kids in a classroom or school. ( )

This book is about an interracial family. The author, Adoff, wrote this book in 1973, this book featured the first interracial family in children's books. This book is written in a poem form, with rhyming words. I don't like poems much it takes me a while to understand what the author was trying to say. The mother is the color of "chocolate milk," and the daddy is white but "not white like snow or milk," he has pinks in his skin too. The two children are a mix of both, and the book talks about their love for their family, and they acknowledge that their family is multiracial and they are proud of it. ( )
