Hi! I am a little boy with big curly hair, my skin is like warm honey, and my smile lights up an entire room. It’s just me and my mommy, and together we are a family. My mommy has straight dark hair and her skin is like summer sand. She is kind and patient and works really hard everyday.
One day before school, as she was getting me ready, I looked up at her and asked, “Mommy, why don’t we match?”
She smiled as she was combing my hair and replied, “We match in ways you can’t see. Our hearts sing the same song. A song with love, a song whose melody is gentle yet strong.”
“But why is my skin brown and yours not?”
Mom smiled and looked at my big brown eyes and said, “The world is a painting and we are each a unique color. Families come in all shapes and colors, some match and some don’t, and that is ok!”
This perfect little family paints a beautiful picture of the sun and the earth and together they light up the world.
