I loved the Berenstain Bears book series as a child. There are still stray copies in my parents’ basement, which I read to my son on our visits.

“Colors of the World” is the latest collection of colors from crayon giant Crayola to address the notion of inclusion. The company has taken a hit for several years for the notable absence of skin tone colors that represent a diversity of ethnic and racial backgrounds.

Fifteen years ago, my husband and I, both Latino converts to Islam, welcomed our first son to this world. Alhamdulillah, he was the first Muslim child born into our families, a blend of Puerto Rican and Ecuadorian heritages living here in the U.S.
