    Beautiful colors—look up and look down.
    Beautiful babies in all shades of brown.
     
    This delightful concept book doesn't just teach colors—it does so with a focus on brown as a celebration and a validation of Black children. As beautiful Black babies play together in a park, they discover yellow flowers, red berries, green grass, and more. This Little Golden Book offers a way for families with very young children to begin addressing themes of diversity and equality.
