While skin colour is something we are born with, our attitudes to the colour is not. Sadly, racism is taught to us by our surroundings and those around us at the earliest of ages. So a simple answer is to surround kids as soon as possible with messages that tell the truth about racism. Scribble Guys has done it! What a great resource to help little minds understand that every colour is a beautiful gift and that we are all "scribbled from the same wax!" Perhaps most importantly is the ending image of all the colours swirled together -- after all, WE ARE SUPPOSED TO ALL BE TOGETHER! Thank you, Allison McWood and Patrick Staheli for your contribution to the swirling of the world of colour!
