A wonderfully illustrated book that cues readers in on the wonderful things that are the color black--a color that is usually associated with bad things. It's subtle self-love and self-acceptance book for Black (or all "brown") children who don't see themselves frequently in the media. ( )

This book is about a young african american girl that finds thing all around that are black also. I liked this book because not only does it let us know about things that are similar to us, but it helps us learn more from it. The grade level would be 1-2 grade.

Though I've seen other books of this kind, this is nicely done and deserving of praise. The many places we see black all around us on a daily basis are brought forward in stark clarity in this poetic text. Nicely done. ( )
