Notes From Black Reads

Colin Kaepernick already has several distinct chapters of his life written. This next one, as children's book author and publisher, could be his most impactful. Inspired by his childhood in a mixed race household, mixed race school and mixed race world, Colin tells the story of what happens when a brown child is asked to draw a picture of himself and his family — which is white. Great for fans of I Promise, Sulwe and All Because You Matter.
