The Colors of Me
A Journey of Identity for Biracial Children
Written by Ekaette Kern | Illustrated by Adriel Meka
The Colors of Me is a heartwarming tale that celebrates the beauty of being biracial and encourages children to embrace their unique identity with pride and confidence. Inspired and driven by a desire to empower her daughter Shiloh, author Ekaette Kern embarked on a journey to create a children's book that celebrates diversity and helps young readers recognize that their identity is something to cherish.
Through Ekaette Kern's heartfelt storytelling and vibrant illustrations by Adriel Meka, the book engages children in meaningful conversations about identity and belonging. The author weaves her experiences as both a mother and advocate for diversity into every page, showing readers that each child's unique identity is a beautiful reflection of who they are — something to be celebrated, not questioned.
Perfect for families, educators, and little ones ages 2 to 4, this empowering story opens conversations about identity, heritage, and the richness of multicultural backgrounds. While especially meaningful for biracial children, "The Colors of Me" invites all young readers to appreciate what makes each person wonderfully unique, fostering acceptance and inclusivity from an early age.
