Brown: The Many Shades of Love
by Nancy Johnson James, Illustrated by Constance Moore

From author Nancy Johnson James and illustrator Constance Moore, Brown: The Many Shades of Love is a picture book celebrating all the beautiful browns in one child’s colorful family.

Mama’s brown is chocolate, clear, dark, and sweet. Daddy’s brown is autumn leaf, or like a field of wheat. Granny’s brown is like honey, and Papa’s like caramel.

In this loving and lovely ode to the color brown, a boy describes the many beautiful hues of his family, including his own—gingerbread.
