Key item features

New big books to share with a group!

Big books are ideal for use with a large group—they are oversized at 14-1/2 x 18 inches. A perfect way to enjoy Holt favorites with many children at once!

A positive and affirming look at skin color, from an artist's perspective.

Seven-year-old Lena is going to paint a picture of herself. She wants to use brown paint for her skin. But when she and her mother take a walk through the neighborhood, Lena learns that brown comes in many different shades.

Through the eyes of a little girl who begins to see her familiar world in a new way, this book celebrates the differences and similarities that connect all people.

Karen Katz created The Colors of Us for her daughter, Lena, whom she and her husband adopted from Guatemala six years ago.

LOVE this book!

I work in an inner city school, and it never fails that skin color is a big topic at some point. This book is perfect to talk to my students about the different shades of skin we see. It is great in helping them to feel comfortable in their own skin and loving who they are! They especially love reading this in big book format! We always follow up by mixing different shades of brown to find our own unique color! This is a MUST in any classroom!

The Color of Us

This book is beautifully illustrated, but even more importantly, it tells the story of a little girl that discovers that we are all very different even if we 'look the same.'
