For fans of “Hair Love and Eyes that Kiss in the Corners”, here is an empowering picture book about recognizing the beauty around you and within you by award-winning author Supriya Kelkar and rising star illustrator Noor Sofi.
Brown is beautiful.
On a hike with her grandparents, a young Indian-American girl makes note of all the things in nature that are brown, too. From a nurturing mother bear, to the steadiness of deep twisting roots, to the beauty of a wild mustang, brown is everywhere! On her way, the girl collects the beautiful brown things she encounters as mementos for a scrapbook to share with a very special new addition to her family-a baby brother!
"This brilliant tapestry of browns may spark discussions about identity and nature."
Kirkus Reviews
"Lyrically narrated... Kelkar follows intergenerational members of a brown-skinned family walking out-of-doors and beholding brown-hued elements of a changing landscape... In lustrous autumnal hues, debut illustrator Sofi's rich digital art captures a variety of natural landscapes via images both majestic and familiar."
Publishers Weekly
"A baby's homecoming is a reminder of the joy found in the color brown, a cozy message that few readers will want to miss. Lovely."
