Mixed: A Colorful Story

A cute and simple book about embracing diversity and difference, while also touching briefly on colors. But, because it's so simple, I feel it implies that people of different races having children together in and of itself solves racism? I know systemic injustice is not an easy or light concept, but the focus on individual choice made it fall a bit flat for me.

In the beginning there were just three colors: Red, Yellow, and Blue. One day the Reds started saying they were the best and there was trouble in the world; all the colors started living in separate parts of the city. It took a Yellow falling in love with a Blue to set things back to normal again.

A lovely little parable of differences and connecting to create something new.
