Affirmation is important for children, and nowhere is this more important than within their own families. Wendy L. Hackey, author of The Colors of Me, offers families a beautiful story to share with young children–a story that explains how beautiful our differences are. Young readers will enjoy this rhyming tale that focuses on skin color and ethnicity while giving them visuals of families who look just like their own.

The Colors of Me is a lovely quick read perfect for gifting and reading as a bedtime story. Its pages are filled with smiles, laughter, and vibrant illustrations that give young readers relatable book characters to cherish. Families will want to keep Hackey’s work on hand for story time and those moments when children need a little extra quality time with a book that feels like a warm hug.

I highly recommend The Colors of Me, by Wendy L. Hackey. This is the perfect gift to give to families. In addition, I can see Hackey’s rhyming narrative finding its place on guidance counselors’ shelves to be used with students aged 4-7. Hackey’s work will undoubtedly help set the tone for books that provide support for multiracial families and their youngest readers.
