“”Imagine a world in only one color” is the opening suggestion of this beautifully inclusive book. Children are asked a series of questions intended to limit their perspective based on the five senses, such as eating one food, seeing one color, having one facial expression. Readers are then shown the beauty and value of diversity. While not stated outright, the undertone of the text is to appreciate and honor all people and cultures. The illustrations beautifully depict this message through inclusive representations of individuals.”

Illustrated by Jennie Poh
Published by Interlink Publishing Group Inc.

An uplifting picture book about the incredible diversity in our world, perfect for starting conversations with little ones about inclusion, acceptance, and kindness.

In this uplifting picture book, you imagine a world where everyone looks identical, where all food tastes the same, where we all speak the same language. A world that is…well, pretty boring. But with an explosion of color, the pages soon come to life. This joyful picture book encourages children to imagine the world as a vast library, with room on the shelves for everybody’s story. It is a celebration of our incredibly diverse world as it really is: home to 195 countries with thousands of different cultures, 10 million colors, and 4,300 religions.
