    I am Brown by Askok Banker

    Written by Ashok Banker and beautifully illustrated by Sandhya Prabhat, this book is a joyful celebration of race - an appreciation of the skin you're in. I am brown. I am beautiful. I am perfect. I designed this computer. I ran this race. I won this prize. I wrote this book.

    Each page features a lovely illustration helping to showcase the diversity of modern cultures and societies. This is a heartwarming and empowering book of self-love and acceptance. An uplifting children's book with a powerful message that you can be anything you want to be.

Such a fantastic read

The illustrations are gorgeous and the story about loving the skin you're in is wonderful it really is a fantastic book to read and reinforce those ideas within our children.
I loved the representation and diversity in the book and something that sparked good conversations with my children.

Love this book. Beautifully diverse and positive

This is such a lovely book. It shows the diversity in everyone, challenges stereotypes and is simply gorgeous.

I read this with my 4 year old and we discussed how it's important to let people show and tell you who they are, not judge in what you see. The world is so amazingly diverse and every person brings their own strengths to it. We also talked about negative stereotypes and how it can impact people.

A great read for starting important conversations. A beautiful book. Doesn't matter if you are brown or not, this is one we should all have in our collection.

A beautiful celebration of diversity

As a family with 4 mixed race children, we are passionate about representation in the toys, books and resources we have. We were really excited to receive I Am Brown and it didn't disappoint.
This is such an uplifting book which really works to challenge the stereotypes of what a brown person is. It reinforces that you can become anyone and do anything that you want to be.
We loved the positive messages throughout the book, you are perfect, exactly as you are

A gorgeous, uplifting book

I loved reading this book with my children. The illustrations are lovely, the message beautiful and it’s hard to read it without smiling away. The message of celebrating the skin you’re is wonderfully depicted. We need more books like this! An utter delight.
