Book Details
I am brown. I am beautiful. I am perfect. I drew this picture. I built this building. I designed this computer. I ran this race. I won this prize. I wrote this book.
A joyful celebration of the skin you're in - of being brown, of being amazing, of being you!
“A note-perfect hymn about acceptance, pride and belonging”
— The Observer
"A total joy to behold. The gorgeous illustrations and story provide a positive mantra for all children of any ethnicity and background – with the central message that you can be anything you want to be, don’t hold yourself back. Highly recommended".
— Emily Drabble, BookTrust
“Such a joyful book! A must-have for your shelf, and definitely schools and libraries.”
— Bookbairn
'An empowering book for all children to read and a beautiful reminder about self-love, dreaming big, culture and self-acceptance.'
–– Here Wee Read
'This is not just a book about being brown. This book is fundamentally the voice of every child, and every child is amazing. Simply one of the most joyful books I have seen for a long time. I can’t wait to share it in my library'
