    La couleur et moi de Michaela Dias-Hayes

    Écrit et illustré par Michaela Dias-Hayes (illustratrice de Tournesol Sisters), « Colour and Me » est un livre pour enfants de 32 pages qui explore l'identité et la race à travers des images colorées et une histoire réconfortante.

    Inspiré par le propre fils de Michaela, ce livre est une approche joyeuse du mélange de couleurs qui responsabilise les enfants et leur montre la vraie beauté d'avoir une peau brune. Michaela dit : « J'ai écrit ce livre après avoir mélangé des peintures avec mon fils. Lorsqu'il a mélangé toutes les peintures ensemble, il m'a regardé et a dit « Yuk brown... Je déteste le marron ! Cela m'a fait me demander pourquoi. J'ai ensuite expliqué : "Ce n'est pas beurk, c'est beau comme toi et moi."

    Color and Me est une façon magnifiquement simpliste d'explorer la couleur et présente des illustrations tout aussi lumineuses et passionnantes. "J'ai créé du orange, du vert et du violet, en utilisant du jaune, du rouge et du bleu – et du marron à partir des trois couleurs... Quelle chose magique à faire !"

    Owlet Press a été fondée par Samuel Langley-Swain en 2018, travaillant avec des auteurs et illustrateurs partageant une passion commune : des livres d'images qui reflètent la véritable diversité de la vie des enfants. Se concentrer sur les défis auxquels les enfants sont confrontés aujourd'hui et présenter ces grands problèmes dans des histoires inclusives et accessibles que les petits lecteurs peuvent digérer et discuter avec leurs amis, leurs familles et les écoles. Cet éditeur indépendant de livres pour enfants a pour objectif de changer le monde, un livre à la fois, en faisant appel aux meilleurs auteurs et illustrateurs pour raconter ces histoires.

    Owlet Press a toujours publié des livres « d'ailleurs inclusifs » dès le premier jour et cherche à pousser cela plus loin avec chaque titre. Avec des auteurs et illustrateurs de tous horizons, la diversité est la philosophie motrice de cet éditeur. Owlet pense qu'il est essentiel pour les jeunes lecteurs de couleur de voir des enfants comme eux (et pour les enfants blancs non handicapés de voir des enfants qui ne leur ressemblent pas toujours) dans des livres qui expérimentent la joie et la magie d'histoires ludiques et imaginatives - une conviction que nous partageons à Babipur.

Such a joy to read!

A really lovely book, the writing is just perfect. 6yo loved the colour mixing and immediately got out the okonorm paints to do some mixing of her own! When we read it again later she then started to talk about the references to skin colour, and it opened up some really positive discussion. We’ve already started a handprint rainbow! Can’t recommend this book enough.

Beautiful book

What a beautiful, empowering story that is educational too!
My little one is just starting to learn colours and this book will be a great way of teaching him, it explains colour mixing in a simple straightforward way.
The illustrations are lovley and the bright colours used are eye catching and easy to look at. The front cover is slightly textured which gives it an extra special quality.
I did find the rhymes and flow slightly off on one or two pages, but overall it read well and certainly didn't put me off reading it. It's a good length for toddlers as well, with not too many words in each page.
It describes itself as 'a joyful book' and it truly is. I know it's going to be one we read again and again, as it's an uplifting story that left me with a smile.

This is such a lovely story, perfect for a bit of bookish play.. which we love! The story talks about colour mixing, but also talks about race and relationships. It’s delivered is a very lovely way through the book. The illustrations are lovely and Matthew loved to read it to Molly this week

Beautiful book

I really enjoyed reading Colour and Me with my daughter. The illustrations really draw you in and are so vibrant. My 7 year old said she really enjoyed reading about the colour mixing and loved that the pictures were halfway between real and cartoons and I know what she means. We loved the attention to detail and all the different hair styles. A beautiful book for all children

Colourful and wonderful

Colour and me is a great read for toddlers and younger children. Through colourful illustrations and a gentle rhyme children are introduced to basic colour theory, diversity and acceptance. My three (almost 4) year old was engaged throughout, learning as we read and using the images to help him predict the colour mixes. My 6 year older wasn’t as engaged - he knows his primary and secondary colours so didn’t care as much for the rhythm and flow of the story as he “knew the answers”- but he did enjoy trying to name things in the different colours.

I really like that this book is paper back, printed on quality paper so that its tactile and easily handled by small hands without fear of rips as can sometimes happen. Another excellent publication from Owlet Press

Incidentally Inclusive

Incidentally Inclusive

Owlet Press have always published books that are 'incidentally inclusive' from day one and look to push this further with every title. With authors and illustrators from all walks of life - diversity is the driving ethos within this publisher. Owlet believe that it is key for young readers of colour to see children like them (and for white, non-disabled children to see children that don't always look like them) in books experiencing the joy and magic of playful, imaginative stories - a belief that we share at Babipur.
