Am I a Color Too?
Product Description
A young interracial boy wonders why people are labeled by the color of their skin. Realizing that people dream, feel, sing, smile and dance, regardless of their color, he asks, “Am I a color, too?” Gerald Purnell’s powerful art brings this simple poem vibrantly to life.

Written by Heidi Cole & Nancy Vogl and illustrated by Gerald Purnell.
