Hear Samara Cole Doyon Read Magnificent Homespun Brown

 

Magnificent Homespun Brown is an exploration of the natural world and family bonds through the eyes of young, mixed-race heroines—a living, breathing, dazzlingly multifaceted, exuberant masterpiece, firmly grounded in a sense of self-worth and belonging. This is a story—a poem, a song, a celebration— about feeling at home in one’s own beloved skin.
