by **Supriya Kelkar** (Author), **Noor Sofi** (Illustrator)

**For fans of _Hair Love_ and _Eyes that Kiss in the Corners_, here is an empowering picture book about recognizing the beauty around you and within you by award-winning author Supriya Kelkar and rising star illustrator Noor Sofi.**

_Brown is beautiful._

On a hike with her grandparents, a young Indian-American girl makes note of all the things in nature that are brown, too. From a nurturing mother bear, to the steadiness of deep twisting roots, to the beauty of a wild mustang, brown is everywhere! On her way, the girl collects the beautiful brown things she encounters as mementos for a scrapbook to share with a very special new addition to her family--a baby brother!

_Brown is you._  
_Brown is me._
