I wish I had more information, but my girlfriend described a book that she had as a child. It was (I believe) a picture book, with various pictures of children of color and descriptions of their skin tones (like “John’s skin is the color of a penny,” stuff like that). I know it’s not a lot to go on, but if anyone remembers anything, that would be great.
Stump the Bookseller
New format, same book stumper solving.
Two possibilities that occur to me are Karen Katz: ‘The Colors of Us’ and Sandra Pinkney: ‘Shades of Black: A Celebration of Our Children’.
Colors Around Me by Vivian Church
Maybe Arnold Adoff’s Black is Brown is Tan?
