'Magnificent Homespun Brown: A Celebration' by Samara Cole Doyon with art by Kaylani Juanita is a picture book glorying in how we can see ourselves in the world around us.
A young girl compares rivers and trees and honey to the color of her skin and eyelashes and eyes. She is cared for by family. She spends time in nature. She is a gloriously happy child.
The verse in this book is amazing. I was completely taken in from the first page. The art is exuberant and beautiful. Everyone should have a book where they can see themselves. It's also good to have books that show us that we have more in common than not.
I received a review copy of this ebook issue from Tilbury House Publishing, Myrick Marketing & Media LLC, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.

The lyrical language would make for a lovely readaloud, though the complexity makes it ideal for older audiences (2nd-5th maybe).

adore the illustrations, the text is going to go over the head of most young kids and I found myself tongue-tied at times trying to read it outloud

LOVE the illustrations. I think the poem is more suited to parents than kids in many ways, but still a nice family read.

beautiful book; advanced vocabulary so it's a "read-to-me" book, and I think the younger kids may get lost in the words and the message would fall flat.

This is a super delightful picture book. It’s got a great representation in multiple ways, and it’s just so sweet and positive and loving. One of my favorite picture books of the year, so far.
