“Can you lend me the skin-colored pencil, please?” Alex asked. Skin-colored? Vega and Alex wondered why there is such a color in the box. With curiosity and creativity they will explore the diversity of skin tones of people who are part of their daily lives and they will discover that the “skin-color” can have a thousand shades and not just one.

Beautifully illustrated with a uniquely immersive world to explore, this book is an entertaining and intelligent way to celebrate diversity among young children.
