Authors Heidi Cole and Nancy Vogl's narrator, young Tyler, ponders the question "Am I a Color Too?" as he looks at the world and sees more than color. He wonders where he fits in the whole scheme of things with a mother that people call "white" and a father that people call "black." In the end, he answers his own question with great clarity and innocence. The beautiful, thought-provoking illustrations are a perfect complement to the text. Benjamin Franklin Award for Best Multicultural Book, the Christopher Award for Best Book for Young People, and the Wanda Gág Award for Outstanding Read-Aloud Book. ak
