Description

For me, brown is more than feeling proud.
It’s the color I see when I see
me.

Zahra sees the world in vivid color. When she’s happy, she feels a razzle-dazzle pink in her hands. When she’s sad, she feels a deep blue behind her eyes. But she isn’t quite sure how to feel about the color of her skin. Kids at school tell her she is different, but her mother tells her to be proud! From a diverse team and based on extensive research,
The Proudest Color is a timely, sensitive introduction to race, racism, and racial pride.
