Summary: Two Mrs. Gibson's
Review: This is a fabulous book that explores the differences within a multi-cultural, multi-racial family (African American & Japanese American). Written from a child's perspective, this book focuses on the cultural and physical differences within a family while emphasizing the love the family members share. A positive book that deserves a place on the bookshelf of every preschool and elementary school where educators are concerned about the healthy development of bicultural children.

Summary: THE COLORS OF LOVE
Review: Toyomi Gibson writes about the two most important and influential Mesdames Gibsons in her life. One is her mother who is Japanese and the other is her paternal grandmother who is black. She draws beautiful contrasts and cultural bonds between the two women; for example she describes the Japanese dinners her mother makes and the soul southern cooking she enjoys when she eats with her grandmother. Her mother is delicate and petite; her grandmother is husky and stout. Her mother is known for her quiet anger whereas her grandmother has a booming voice that she also uses for singing in church. Both women encourage the young Toyomi to explore her rich ancestry; her mother has kimonos tied with obi sashes for her to play dress up in and her grandmother has a wide collection of hats she wears to church. Although the two women look nothing alike and have contrasting expressions, they both love Toyomi and her father. I can't recommend this one highly enough.
