This book illustrated by Floyd Cooper and written by Joyce Carol Thomas is both a Coretta Scott King illustrator award and author honor book. Each poem celebrates a different hue of black with respect to African American diversity. The poetry and illustrations combine to celebrate the strengths and beauty of different shades by relating them to the strength and beauty seen in these same shades in nature. The book is an encouraging, uplifting celebration of diversity within a culture.
