Our Beautiful Colors
by Nikki Shannon Smith, Illustrated by Bea Jackson

This Little Golden Book features beautiful illustrations and rhyming text about colors, plus a social justice theme that encourages Black children to celebrate themselves.

Beautiful colors—look up and look down.
Beautiful babies in all shades of brown.

This delightful concept book doesn’t just teach colors—it does so with a focus on brown as a celebration and a validation of Black children. As beautiful Black babies play together in a park, they discover yellow flowers, red berries, green grass, and more. This Little Golden Book offers a way for families with very young children to begin addressing themes of diversity and equality.
