Told by a succession of exuberant young narrators,
Magnificent Homespun Brown
is a story — a song, a poem, a
celebration
— about feeling at home in one’s own beloved skin.
With vivid illustrations by Kaylani Juanita, Samara Cole Doyon sings a carol for the plenitude that surrounds us and the self each of us is meant to inhabit.
