 The Colors of Us
by Karen Katz

This is a great book that my children LOVE!  It follows the story of a little girl, Lena, and her mother walking through their neighborhood visiting all their neighborhood friends.

The mom points out how everyone has a different color.
And Lena comes home and colors them all…
Chocolate, peachy, coffee, toffee, cinnamon butterscotch!


I like this book especially at the preschool age when children are starting to realize that not everyone looks like them.

  1. I like the one about crayons too that only want to work with their color but decide to work together instead. I think it's called the crayon box. Anyway, great review!

  3. I will have to keep this book in mind as my boys get older. Some things are just easier to teach through books, kids seem to absorb it differently.
