For me, brown is more than feeling proud. It' s the colour I see when I see me. Zahra sees the world in vivid colour. When she' s happy, she feels a razzle-dazzle pink in her hands. When she' s sad, she feels a deep blue behind her eyes. But she isn' t quite sure how to feel about the colour of her skin. Kids at school tell her she is different, but her mother tells her to be proud! From a diverse team and based on extensive research, The Proudest Color is a timely, sensitive introduction to race, racism, and racial pride.
"This text is a timely and welcome addition to early childhood classrooms that can be used in lessons on skin color, feelings, kindness, and how words can hurt others. " -Booklist "This book provides a helpful jumping-off point for exploring facts, thoughts, and feelings behind racial identity, awareness, and pride. The attractive illustrations are full of personality in vignettes that flesh out the story' s text. . . A useful tool for digging deeper" -Kirkus Reviews
Sheila Modir is a pediatric psychologist, and Jeffrey Kashou is a marriage and family therapist. As Middle Eastern Americans (Iranian and Palestinian) and as clinicians, they advocate for diversity, equity, and inclusion and work toward promoting resilience in children.
