Brown

by Nancy Johnson James
Illustrated by Constance Moore

Celebrating all the beautiful browns in one child’s colorful family

Mama’s brown is chocolate, clear, dark, and sweet. Daddy’s brown is autumn leaf, or like a field of wheat. Granny’s brown is like honey, and Papa’s like caramel. In this loving and lovely ode to the color brown, a boy describes the many beautiful hues of his family, including his own—gingerbread.
