Ariana loves to color. So when a classmate comments on the color of her skin, it leaves her with a question she carries all the way home.

What happens next is a gentle, powerful lesson, sparked by a simple box of crayons, about why our differences are exactly what make the world beautiful. With the help of a caring teacher, Ariana discovers something every child deserves to know: there is room for every color, and the world is richer because of it.

Based on a true story, More Colors in the Box is a warm and welcoming book for every family. It opens the door to one of childhood’s most important conversations, with kindness, honesty, and hope.
