Description
Lena is going to color a picture of herself. She wants to make use of brown paint for her skin. But if Lena and her mother take a walk through their neighborhood, Lena sees that there are lots of different sunglasses and tones of brown. Seen from an artist’s viewpoint, skin colors are subtle, varied–and cause for celebration!
Karen Katz created this book for her daughter, Lena, whom she and her husband adopted from Guatemala six years ago.
