![]() Magnificent Homespun Brown is my absolute most cannot-stop-talking-about-it, cannot-stop-recommending-it book this year. This "celebration" makes magic out of the everyday joys of being in the world. Clara Hendricks, Cambridge Public Library, MA - School Library JournalĬelebration of community and belonging. Whether this delightful book is a mirror or a window for a child, it is a must-read for its celebration of love for oneself and one’s family. Still, there is always a return to the personal as different girls, rendered in delicately quirky art, name their own joyous sense of brown - amber-like hair, radiant-like skin, creamy-like laughter, thundering-like power, cozy-like peace and magnificent like the sum of “all the treasures, places, and people I love coming together in me.” Here then is a quiet book about pride and identity. ![]() Leisurely, image-rich verse renders it delicious, like caramel and cocoa, natural like river water and hemlock branches. ![]() ![]() Brown is never dreary or drab in this poetic exploration of its many expressions. ![]()
