BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ESSENTIAL
AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH
When Colin is presenting his picture of "family" other kids start asking him questions about why he isn't the same skin color as the rest of his family. The questions made him feel bad. He remembered talking to his mom about being adopted, and how she told him "adopted means special". He knew just how to answer the classes questions!
A sweet, sweet story, I loved his mother's answers, and also the teacher's response. The illustrations are realistic, and just make me happy. AJ's favorite thing about "I Color Myself Different" is the illustrations. She loved Colin's happy face, and even found a classmate that looked like her! A good book to help a child understand adoption. Colin is black.
