Synopsis
A young interracial boy wonders why people are labeled by the color of their skin. Seeing that people dream, feel, sing, smile and dance, regardless of their color, he asks, "Am I a color, too? When I think of all the people, All those faces in my sight, If people are really colors, There should be more than black and white." Gerald Purnell's captivating art brings this simple poem vibrantly to life.

About the Author
Heidi Cole and her mother Nancy Vogl collaborated on this poem as a way of honoring Heidi s son, Tyler. Nancy is the co-author of Chicken Soup for the Single Parent s Soul, also being released in 2005. Gerald Purnell sees his work as an expression of his love for God. Besides being a lot of fun, it brings me closer to my spiritual, intuitive self.
From the Inside Flap
In this masterfully illustrated book, a young boy wonders why people focus more on skin color than on the traits and values we all share as human beings. Through his eyes, we explore the common labels of Black and White.The inspiration for Tyler's poem came when he was three. Hearing people referred to as certain colors, he asked his grandma the stirring question, Am I a color? Tyler's innocent observations remind and inspire us to treasure every person, regardless of outward appearances a universal message that touches readers of all ages.
