{"product_id":"i-am-tan-9781546455981","title":"I Am Tan","description":"\u003cp\u003eThere are white people  black people  brown people  red people and yellow people  but what about the people who are bi-racial or multi-racial? They may find that they do not fit so neatly into one of these basic colors. This question of race and color leads one six-year-old boy named Christian  on a quest to seek answers. He asks his parents  kids at school and teachers what color they think he is  and what color he should say he is. As the day progresses  he hears stereotypes about race and color  but he also hears valuable information which helps him to embrace all of who he is. By the end of the day  he has learned to think outside of a black and white box. Note from publisher: The main character of this book has a white mommy and a black daddy. The word \"tan \" is from the childs own mouth. He came to this conclusion when he was coloring a picture of his family. The brown crayon that he used for his daddy  was too dark for him  and the light peach crayon he used for his mommy  was too light for him; however  the tan crayon was just right! There are endless possibilities to what a person might be mixed with. The author was only able to add a few of these in this childrens book  but she did want to illustrate that there are many \"tan\" people throughout the world  who are more than simply black  white  red  yellow or brown. The other racial mixes included in this story are: Filipino and white; Asian and black; Mexican and black; and white  black and American Indian. Two famous people are also included! Mr. Barack Obama  who was the 44th president of the United States is half black and half white  and Dwayne \"The Rock\" Johnson is half black and half Samoan. This book is written on the level of a small child  and the author hopes that as children grow older  their parents will expand upon this discussion of race  stereotypes and color.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67923558498357,"sku":"ByrdShop_1546455981","price":67.31,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781546455981.jpg?v=1794107618","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/i-am-tan-9781546455981","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
