More Than Peach
Written by Bellen Woodard, the original Crayon Activist, this powerful picture book is both heartfelt and inspiring, encouraging young readers to stand up for inclusion and change.
When classmates referred to a crayon as “skin color” in a school she loved, Bellen recognized the importance of helping others understand that skin comes in many beautiful shades. This stunning story shares her message of belonging, confidence, and the power of young people to lead. Inspired by her experience, Bellen created the More Than Peach Project and crayons designed with every child in mind—helping to reshape the crayon industry and how we see the world.
The book also includes thoughtful back matter about leadership and making a positive impact in your community. Bellen’s insight and self-assurance will empower young readers to use their voices and help make already good spaces even better.
