Two Drops of Brown in a Cloud of White
Saumiya Balasubramaniam, illustrated by Eva Campbell
A young girl and her immigrant mother walk home from school through a snowy winter landscape. The girl delights in the snow, while her mother misses the sun, warmth, and colors of the place she once called home. They respond differently to the same brown leaves and winter scenes, without either view being treated as wrong. Over the course of their walk, the girl’s imagination and pleasure in the present help her mother see the season differently, while the story holds both longing and belonging within their family.
