This is the story of a seven year old girl named Lena. She wants to paint a picture of herself and her mother tells her that if she mixes different color she will get the right brown for a picture of herself. Lena does not understand that there are different shades of brown so her mom decides to take her for a walk. I their walk they see Lena's friends and several other people that were different shades of skin color. One was chocolate brown, one was peachy and tan. Another was the color of honey and her cousin was reddish brown. She realized that people are of a great variation of color. When they went back home she mixed all the different paints and painted all the different people she new with all their different colors.
This is a good book and I would use it in my classroom to teach the students about diversity. I would read it to the class and after that we would do an activity to see how many different color children are part of the class. This would be a good book from Pre-K to 2nd grade.
