Magnificent Homespun Brown by Samara Cole Doyon

Samara Cole Doyon hails from Maine, descended from Haitian migrants to the United States. This beautiful poem articulates the author's hope that "all children [can] embrace and celebrate the many vibrant pieces of themselves". The poem is made even more moving through lovely, exuberant illustrations by Kaylani Juanita.
Prompt: With what colour do you most identify? Why? What does your favourite colour say about you?
