Three Main Teaching Points:

1. Teaching children to look at predominant
skin color and ethnicity in a new way.
The Multi-Colored Human book offers many excellent
opportunities to discuss ethnicity and predominant skin color.
2. Vocabulary development 
There are several words that will be new to young students.
3. Sentence structure and punctuation 
In this book, like in many lines of poetry and rhymes, the sentences
aren't punctuated like they would be in "normal" written material. This
provides an excellent opportunity for students who are learning
sentence structure and punctuation to examine each sentence in order
to provide proper punctuation and adjust the sentences, if needed.

Are you a Multi-Colored Human?

I am not just purple ​
You are not just green
It's not by one color
We wish to be seen

I look in the mirror
And what do I see?
A Multi-Colored Human
Staring back at me

All over our bodies
Various pigments abound
A person of one solid color
No one has ever found

Look closely at your skin,
Eyes, nails, teeth, and hair
I bet you found multiple
Colors lurking there

Stick out your tongue
And move it side to side
That's just one more color
Most of the time we hide

Sometimes skin changes color
When it’s bruised, burnt, or cold
Hair and skin color can change
When people get really old

Please don't call me a color
I'm not purple or green
I'm not even one color
Somewhere in between

You need not look hard
To realize neither are you
You're not just one color
Not even just two

It's easy to see
You're Multi-Colored like me
We're ALL Multi-Colored
​Multi-Colored Humans are we

Let's examine how we view
Ourselves and each other
Neither you nor I
​Should be defined by a color
