I am brown. I am beautiful. I am perfect. I drew this picture. I built this building. I designed this computer. I ran this race. I won this prize. I wrote this book. I am brown. I am amazing. I am you.

Brown children around the world celebrate their uniqueness and their ordinariness in this inclusive illustrated poem. This message of the normalcy and joy of being brown is upbeat and uplifting.--Kirkus Reviews
Beginning with a child sporting exuberant puffball pigtails and broadening into a community of brown-skinned children, the figures in this joyful picture book love the skin they're in..--Publishers Weekly
