More than Peach (Bellen Woodard Original Picture Book)

Penned by the very first Crayon Activist, Bellen Woodard, this picture book will tug at readers’ heartstrings and inspire them to make a difference! Some call it the skin-colour crayon. I’ve heard it many times before. But this time when I pass the peach-coloured crayon to him, something in me feels different. When Bellen Woodard’s classmates referred to ‘the skin-colour’ crayon she knew just how important it was that everyone understood that ‘skin can be any number of beautiful colours.’ This stunning picture book spreads Bellen’s message of inclusivity, empowerment, and the importance of inspiring the next generation of leaders. Bellen created the More Than Peach Project and crayons with every single kid in mind to transform the crayon industry and grow the way we see our world. And Bellen has done just that! Includes back matter about becoming a leader and improving your community just like Bellen did! The perfect picture book for little activists everywhere, reminding readers of how important their voices are! Wonderfully colourful and emotive illustrations from Fanny Leim that bring the story to life on every page!
