What Color Is the Baby? A Celebration of Skin Tones
Harshini Vankineni, illustrated by Neha Rawat
Kundana is delighted when she meets her newborn sister, Kuku, and sees her as beautiful. As relatives welcome the baby, however, they repeatedly focus on the shade of Kuku’s skin, comparing it with flowers and looking closely at her brown skin. Kundana questions why that detail should matter and resists the way her sister is being judged. The story follows her as she finds loving words of her own to describe and stand up for the baby she adores.
