Marvelous Maravilloso: Me and My Beautiful Family

Written by Carrie Lara PsyD and Illustrated by Christine Battuz
Marvelous Maravilloso is a story from the point of view of a young interracial child about what color means within the dynamics of race, ethnicity, and culture. This sweet, simple story discusses the colors of the world and the colors of the people in a family—all of which make the world beautiful and unique.
