Rainbow Like Me By: Nikisha Watson

This delightful board book is aimed at young children who are just beginning to discover the world of colours. The bright pictures are designed to develop sensory awareness and the characters who are of a variety of ethnicities and cultures will subtly introduce young minds to the beauty in diversity. It also aims to smash common gender stereotypes such as pink is for girls and sport is for boys, instilling the message in children that they can be, enjoy and love anything they choose, without limits. Babies and toddlers will enjoy learning to identify colours in this passion project created by the author in collaboration with her fourteen-year-old son, who did the illustrations.
