Today's world is full of diversity and it comes in many shapes,
sizes, creeds and so much more. In this wonderful story of a
"Family with Many Colors," children learn that being different is
not only ok, but it's cool, hip and fun. "The Family with Many
Colors" shows how love does not stop at one color, or style. Love
embraces everyone and everything. To show true love and acceptance,
we must look beyond the color barrier, embrace the uniqueness in
all of us and know that being different is not wrong, just
different which adds to our rich culture and life.
About the Author and Illustrator:
Mrs. Emma Thomas grew up in Tallahassee, Florida. At an early age
she wanted to be an artist. As time progressed, she saw the value
and enjoyment that many teachers in her area received from
teaching. This won her over and she decided to go to college with
her grandmother's help to become a teacher. She earned a degree in
Early Childhood and Elementary Education, with a minor in Middle
School Science. In college, Mrs. Thomas met her husband, Willie.
She is a proud parent of a daughter and now has a granddaughter
that she cherishes deeply.
Through the years of teaching, Mrs. Thomas has met many students
and parents from a variety of backgrounds and cultural diversities.
She learned from her students on how to share love and grew to
appreciate their ability to look beyond skin color. This led her to
writing a book about the different beautiful flowers (colors of
people) which has turned into her first book: The Family with Many
Colors.
Dimitri Garcia's recognition of being artistic filled him with
bliss at a very early age. He adored feeling special because his
gift was so unique. Dimitri especially found joy in surprising
himself and others when artwork looked better than anticipated. His
greatest influences have been children's books, comics, cartoons
and motion graphics. Dimitri's mediums always range from acrylic,
watercolor, pen and ink and digital coloring but he always starts
inside a sketchbook. He calls Austin, Texas his home and divides
his time and attention between personal training, freelance graphic
design, illustration and yoga.
