Colour and Me!

Michaela Dias-Hayes

Owlet Press

A joyful book of colour mixing that empowers children and shows them that brown skin is beautiful.

This is the first in a two-book series that champions and empowers children of colour in beautifully simplistic ways, this is a bright and colourful story, inspired by the author's own son. 

A Message from the Author:

“I wrote this book after mixing paints with my son - when he mixed all the paints together, he looked at me and said “Yuk brown ... I hate brown!” This made me question why. I then explained, “It’s not yuk - it’s beautiful like you and me.” Then I remembered doing the SAME thing when I was a little girl and it just made me think about how children see the colour brown as ‘not nice’ which then leads to negative feelings about themselves and their skin colour.”
