Description

Embark on a delightful rhyming adventure in this picture book, as a young boy celebrates the beauty of all shades of brown – including his own and yours!

As I journey near and far,
I seek out each hue,
Marvelously, wonderfully,
Brown – just like you!

From school desks to freckles, pastries to canoes,
Brown is everywhere, in various hues.
It colors redwoods and canyon walls grand,
Busy beavers and owls in the land.

Illustrated by Pura Belpr Honor Award recipient Sara Palacios, Wonderfully, Marvelously Brown takes young readers across the U.S. to discover and appreciate the diverse and beautiful shades of brown – from light ivory to deep ebony – that are part of God’s creation, including in humans! Through its rhythmic text and recurring refrain, children of all backgrounds are encouraged to embrace their own skin and appreciate its reflection in their communities and the world around them.
