Day 2 Giveaway… “I Am Mixed” Children’s Book Co-Written By Actress Garcelle Beauvais

by 5 Comments

I think this is a pretty special book. It’s a beautiful way to help children in mixed race families be confident in their identity. It is truly a teaching tool. This book was written by Garcelle Beauvais and Sebastian A. Jones. It was illustrated by James C. Webster.

I had the pleasure of meeting the authors at the Club MomMe event on November 9th and was inspired listening to Sebastian talk about this book, I wanted to give one away!

This book would make a fantastic gift for Christmas or even Hannukah… or simply a gift for a child who is asking questions. This book also includes a family tree for you to fill out in the back as well as thoughtful discussion questions for you and your child to talk about.

The giveaway is easy to enter.. see the Rafflecopter box below. Simply leave a comment on this post about you or your family and why this would be a good book for your kids…or a great gift for someone you know!

“Reading imaginative and creative bedtime stories like I Am Mixed celebrates our uniqueness while defining what connects us one to the other.” – Halle Berry
