COLOUR ME! A joyful book of colour mixing that empowers children and shows them that brown skin is beautiful. I wrote this book after mixing colours with my son - when he mixed all the paints together, he looked at me and said Yuk brown
I hate brown! This made me question why. I then explained, It's not yuk - it's beautiful like you and me. Then I remembered doing the SAME thing when I was a little girl and it just made me think about how children see the colour brown as 'not nice' which then leads to negative feelings about themselves and their skin colour.
