“A timely book to combat stereotypes and encourage the celebration of skin colors of Black and brown people. ”——Kirkus
“Children will love hearing familiar words such as cinnamon, chocolate, gingerbread, and copper to describe the family. As many children engage in tough discussions pertaining to racial differences in the early grades, the inviting language in this work is sure to pique the interest of young readers.”——Booklist
“This book provides a view of skin tone that celebrates a multitude of hues while serving as a subtle, effective refutation of the idea that being family means looking the same.”——Publishers Weekly
