About the book:
Help children
celebrate the incredible range of hues all around them with this
activity book that provides an interactive, engaging, and
age-appropriate way to navigate conversations around skin tone, race,
and racism.
Every person's skin has a particular shade--or hue--that we can appreciate. Children naturally wonder: Why are there so many skin colors? Why do I look a lot like some people and different from others? Which words best describe my skin color?
But sometimes we feel uncomfortable talking about skin tone, ethnicity, and race. That's about to change! Inside these pages, kids will get to explore the ways each of us is uniquely designed and discover positive, creative ways to think and talk about the wonderful diversity of hues found in humanity.
Crafted by an experienced educator and advocate for antiracism, Hues of You is divided into four main sections: Hues of You, Hues of Your Family, Hues of Your Ancestors, and Hues of Your Friends. This activity book offers a smart and honest starting point to spark natural, effective, and meaningful conversations in our families, schools, and communities.

My review:
This was a fun, creative way for kids to learn about and celebrate one of the ways they're unique. I liked all of the opportunities for drawing, coloring, answering questions and getting family and friends involved as kids look at the people they know and appreciate the beauty of each one. I even learned some things and I'm quite a bit older than the target audience, seven to ten year olds! I highly recommend this informative, positive book for kids of all hues!
I received this book free from Waterbrook Multnomah. I was not compensated for this review. All opinions are my own.
