for Bright Eyes, Brown Skin by Cheryl Willis Hudson and George Ford
From Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC)
Appealing full-color illustrations show four distinctly individual African-American children engaged in typical preschool or daycare activities, while an upbeat rhyming text describes the four: "Bright eyes, brown skin / a heart-shaped face / a dimpled chin..." Intended to enhance the self-esteem of African-American children, this powerful and empowering praise song is unique. (Ages 2-5)
