Love Hue You Are

Love Hue You Are is a coloring storybook about a confident girl named Zuri who loves and embraces her beautiful dark brown skin.

In the story, Zuri introduces us to her diverse friend group: Jen, Ben, Priya, Keisha, David, Cree, Isaiah, Susie Lu, Grace, Dakota, and Josh. Zuri seeks to highlight that while they are unique and different, they are also similar, share common interests, and have equal value.

Zuri shares her experience of being teased by some children because of her dark brown skin. Although Zuri was quite hurt, she refused to believe their mean comments. Instead, Zuri focused on her mother's encouraging and uplifting words, which made her feel better.

Zuri wants children to know they are special no matter their skin color and encourages them to be kind and accepting of different hues. She also reminds children to love themselves, be themselves, and watch their awesomeness grow.

Overall, Zuri wishes to see children live in a world where racism and colorism do not exist and where children never have to question their beauty or self-worth. Instead, she wants all children to be accepted and included in all areas of life.
