About the book
What's inside
Forty-five pages of Black family life: a grandmother and granddaughter on the porch swing, rolling out dough together, quilting, reading in the big chair, a piano lesson, jump rope in the street, fishing off the dock with Granddad, a family dinner, a father on the floor with his son. Each design is followed by an affirmation about family and belonging, so the book can be colored quietly or read aloud. Brown Sugar & Kin is part of the Brown Sugar Collection, coloring books that center Black women, Black families and Black culture. It is drawn in our detailed style, with fuller scenes and more line work than the bold and easy shelf, but still in large print with clear outlines. The book is 8.5 inches square, one design per page, and no design is printed on the back of another, so finished pages can be removed and framed or given to someone in the picture.
