From School Library Journal-
“Len's mother is an artist, so she knows whereof she speaks when she insists that there are many different shades of brown. The two take a walk through their neighborhood by way of illustration, and the friends and relatives they meet along the way aptly reinforce Mom's contention. Their skin colors are compared to honey, peanut butter, pizza crust, ginger, peaches, chocolate, and more, conjuring up delicious and beautiful comparisons for every tint. Kate's pencil-and-gouache pictures joyously convey the range of human pigmentation. Positive and useful.”

From Kirkus Reviews-
“Bold illustrations celebrate diversity with a child’s open-hearted sensibility and a mother’s love.”
