I assisted at a focus group for an activity book called Sunkisses, http://www.lovesunkisses.com/. The focus group consisted for lots of young girls between 4 and 14, I think. They colored away on various pages of the activity book. The distinctive features of the book are the affirmations and the images. Each girl is captioned with a positive statement about herself or her activity. And, most importantly, each girl is featured as being a girl of color who is very comfortable with herself and her body image.
I love the book, I love the images, and I love the messages.
Starla Lewis, the author, has a firm grasp on the identity needs of little girls of color, and I know she will take this and run with it!!
