About this title

Synopsis

An entertaining yet creative way to address and celebrate diversity among young children. Like a multicolor pencil palette, what defines human beings is their uniqueness and their diversity.

Vega and her colored pencils are inseparable. Together they create the most impressive drawings that are showcased in the best museum in the world: the refrigerator at home. Vega uses all the colors you can imagine for her drawings: red, yellow, blue, gold, and more.

One day at school, Vega is immersed in one of her new creations when her friend Alex stops by, and peers into the box of pencils Vega had on her table. “Can you lend me the skin-colored pencil, please?” he asks.

Skin-colored? Vega and Alex wonder why there is such a color in the box.

With curiosity and creativity they explore the diversity skin tones of the people around them, and discover that the “skin-color” can have not just one, but a thousand shades. 

About the Authors

Desirée Acevedo is a Spanish illustrator born in Huelva. Passionate about drawing since she held a pencil in her hand for the first time, everything suggested that she would study some artistic degree, but she graduated in Teaching. That is the reason her picture books combine her three passions: writing stories, illustrating them, and the timeless lessons that books offer. Acevedo now lives in Seville, where she has participated in several courses on illustration, drawing techniques, narrative and one specifically on the creative process of the picture book. She has published more than 20 picture books.

Silvia Álvarez is an award-winning illustrator born in the tropical coastal city of La Ceiba, Honduras, by a Honduran father and a Spanish mother. At the age of seven she moved to Spain now living in Seville where she graduated in Fine Arts. She was awarded Gold Medal at the International Latino Book Awards for her artwork in Daisy (Cuento de Luz, 2017).
