Our September Monthly Featured Book is More than Peach, a picture book by Bellen Woodard who, at eight years old, was a 2020 ADL Concert Against Hate honoree. The book tells the story of when Bellen’s classmates referred to the “skin-color” crayon, she knew how important it was that everyone understood that “skin can be any number of beautiful colors.” Bellen created the More than Peach Project featuring crayons with every single child in mind to transform the crayon industry and grow the way we see our world. As always, our featured book selection includes resources for families and educators. Learn more here.
