This is the book that my little one is reading in the picture below. She absolutely adores it and I've found her looking through it several times. Her favorite books are ones with photographs of children. This book is filled with vibrant close ups of precious smiling children, all looking quite different from each other. It starts with, "Have you noticed that people come in many different shades?" Followed by, "Not colors, exactly, but shades." It goes on to show and list several diverse (and yummy!) shades: creamy, ivory, sandy, peach, coffee, cocoa, copper, tan, pink, rose, almond ,bronze, brown, and shades of gold. It is simply stated, and I think it appropriately addresses diversity and human differences to young readers.
