Here is the press release for Kaepernick Publishing:
During a kindergarten exercise on drawing families, Kaepernick remembers putting down the yellow crayon he had been using to draw his family and picking up the brown crayon for himself. This moment crystallized for him the differences marked by his adoption, and how acknowledging those distinctions could encourage us all to be more accepting of ourselves and each other.
Here is a statement from the Scholastic Trade Publishing:
“Colin Kaepernick’s inspiring story, with themes of identity, race, and self-esteem, will resonate deeply with all kids.”
Here is a statement from Debra Dorfman, VP and Publisher of Scholastic Global Licensing, Brands & Media:
“Colin’s reputation as a thought leader precedes him, but it was also clear when we met that his mission and purpose were very much aligned with Scholastic’s. We knew instantly that we wanted to share his stories, which will be impactful messages of identity and belonging for Black and Brown children.”
Here is a statement from Ellie Berger, President and Publisher of Scholastic Trade Publishing:
“We are privileged to bring this work to young readers around the world for the very first time.”
