My Best Me: Color Kind

Color Kind is a joyful, empowering introduction to skin color, identity, and kindness. Too often, kids are told to be “color blind,” but ignoring someone’s skin color erases part of who they are. Instead, being “color kind” means seeing someone’s whole self—celebrating their skin, their story, and their identity.

Filled with uplifting language, bold colors, and thoughtful design, this is a perfect read-aloud for parents, caregivers, and educators who want to start important conversations early.Jelani Memory (he/him) is an African American entrepreneur, thinker, and constant learner.
