Peek Inside BROWN SUGAR BABE
Kirkus Reviews
“Warm images of children and loving adults in gold and dark browns hues complement the rhyming, poetic text, which is set in a large type that emulates hand printing. Perfect for responding to or preventing the feelings of inadequacy that too often plague brown-skinned children, this book begs to be shared as a read-aloud with cuddles. Soul food.”
Publishers Weekly
“When a brown-skinned child proclaims that their skin color is pink, their mother rejoins with a rhyming poem that celebrates the beauty of brown in myriad forms. (T)he text… provides a creative and uplifting celebration of brownness. Warm digital spreads by Akem, in her picture book debut, extend the poem’s messages with stippled, textured digital backgrounds in wide-ranging shades of brown.”
Goodreads
“Each page is drenched in the warmest hues of browns, mahoganies, reds, ochres, coppers, golds and yellows – desert storms whirl, and lightning-struck skies spin, snakes strike and trees raise their mighty arms. It is a whirlwind of words, a tornado of sensations, alive in celebration of black identity and brown skin. And it is beautiful.”
Brown Sugar Babe
Brown is musical. Brown is athletic. Brown is poetic. Brown is powerful!
Joyful Illustrations by Akem
“Akem’s illustrations are full of depth and gorgeous shades. A message of acceptance and love.”
Poetry by Charlotte Watson Sherman
“A beautiful love letter from mother to child about the beauty of the skin we are in.”
