I SEE COLOR
|
I SEE COLOR is a powerful and direct response to those who use the phrase "I don't see color" to dismiss race and racism. This book celebrates revolutionaries from various backgrounds who have lived fearlessly, faced oppression, and fought for change.
Part ode to an array of beautiful skin tones and part introduction to change-makers in history, this book is a rallying call to future generations to march forward. I SEE COLOR is a Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection and has received starred reviews from Kirkus and School Library Journal. |

“The love and appreciation of color shines through this vibrant retrospective on activism, courage, and resistance. A power argument for seeing and appreciating color."
— Kirkus, starred review (Read the entire review here.)
"Every page is an impressive portrait of one or more determined individuals, and brief biographies are listed in the back matter that will send researchers off to learn more. The list of colors alone is an education in a respectful way to address our many differences and similarities, but the lasting impression for children will be that this palette has range, many paths have been partially forged, and that there is more to do. VERDICT An eye-opening album to be read, cherished, used as a cornerstone for study, or shared across curricula."
— School Library Journal, starred review (Read the entire review here.)
"Acknowledging how 'not seeing a person’s color erases a big part of who that person is,' Bolling and Pew highlight nearly two dozen nuanced tones in this intersectional work."
