Halloween Colors
By: Marveta Y. Clark
Halloween Colors tells the story of an eight-year-old African American who discovers she is colored from her white best friend during a Halloween party, a time that should be fun. Her friend Iris does not realize how hurtful this is to her, and now she must face some difficult truths about the world we live in.
This important book for children of all ages and skin colors seeks as a way for parents to begin the long-overdue discussion of race to our children and seeks to explain how hurtful words can be when talking to people of different races. Parents are encouraged to use Halloween Colors as the prompt for this discussion and to provide a new generation with more insight and empathy than those of the past.
