  As a parent in a transracial adoption, I am continually frustrated by the anorexic selection of role models for my African-American child in children's literature. I try to surround my child with deafening messages of self-love and self-worth and celebrate the beautiful brown hue! This book takes passages of the bible and translates it into self-empowering beliefs for a child of any color. The illustrations are warm and well-done, the text is simple, but poetic. The book itself is sturdy and can take a beating. I adore this book. It cost a little more than most other children's books, but it's well worth it!
  
  

• Beautiful Black Children

  As I read COLORS COME FROM GOD JUST LIKE ME I wished that I had a book like this growing up. Many Black Children are exposed daily to sterotypes and negative images (from society and the media) regarding their veil (skin tone) and because of this they begin to view their veil as inferior. This book focuses on the many WONDERFUL colors God gave the world including the MANY skin tones that Blacks posess. As I read this story to my daughter I hope she recieves the same message I obtained, my physical attributes are not inferior, I am beautiful because God created me.
  
  

• Adding Color Adds Beauty

  I love this book. My favorite uncle used to say that all people are God's masterpieces because God sometimes mixes colors to make bonus colors and more beautiful people. "God picked out our colors," this very astute and loving man used to say. "He wanted more beauty for the world so He was always thinking up more beautiful colors to add to it."

  This book affirms that sentiment; this book is a very good reflection on diversity, individuality and being human. Three cheers for this book!

  I bought this book for my two youngest grandchildren who are 2 and 4. My daughter said that they loved it. There is so much out there to destroy a child's self-esteem, that it is nice to find a book that will affirm it for them. I hope they get years of enjoyment from this book.
  
  

• Beautiful book for a girl

  I bought this book for my son, but it focuses on a girl throughout. If I had a daughter, it would be great. As the title has God in it, it is very bible and religion oriented which might not be for some people. I just wish I had realized that it wouldn't have drawings of girls and boys. Doesn't really get the message I wanted to convey across to my son.
