Orange Roses, Pink Carabaos, and Brown Nanays

Abstract

Seven-year old Jamaine loves to draw unusual pictures and loves to write stories and poetry. She is fascinated with colors and dreams of having different kinds of pens with varied colors. She is fascinated with words and dreams of writing her own storybooks. As she daydreams about the things she will draw and the stories she will write, she discovers that she has a lot of things in common with her mother - including her beautiful
brown skin and the naughty twinkle in her eyes.
