Mixed: An Inspiring Story About Colour

by Arree Chung

Mixed is a charming and thought-provoking picture book with characterful illustrations and humour. Follow the colours as they overcome their differences in this sweet tale of acceptance and celebrating difference.

The Blues, Reds and Yellows lived in harmony. Reds were the loudest, Yellows the brightest and Blues were the coolest. However when one of the colours proclaims they are the best, discord breaks out and eventually the colours decide to live in different parts of the city. Then one day a Yellow befriends a Blue and they become inseparable, discovering a world of different possibilities and colours.

From the brilliantly talented Arree Chung comes a timely tale of difference and acceptance.

[Abby Cladingboel · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is a wonderfully colourful and fun book that celebrates diversity and the beauty of being mixed-race. It's a great read for kids and parents, spreading a message of acceptance and embracing our unique backgrounds. I like the fact that the message is subtle, but clear at the same time, and removing humans from the story makes it feel like less of the 'scary' subject it is often seen about. I would 100% have this in my classroom, and recommend it to anyone.
