Tiny Teal Learns to Color: A Little Crayon's Search for Purpose is a children's picture book. It is full of poetry and introduces diversity from the lens of a colorful character. Tiny Teal is a young crayon. His mom is blue, and his dad is green, but he is something in between. At home, he always feels out of place. Will Tiny Teal ever find anything he can color?

This story is perfect for dreamers of all ages (but best suited for ages 3-8). Whether you're a child that cannot live without your crayons or the inner kid in you still loves to dream, Tiny Teal has something for you. Explore the world of color in a whole new way through the eyes on an unlikely hero.

Tiny Teal's story was also written to help families of all sorts and shades have meaningful discussions. When people have children, there is a blending of genetics, lifestyles, and sometimes even cultures, religions, and ethnicities. This is a book families can use to help children appreciate and understand diversity. As a story and a learning tool, children can discover their identity, instead of allowing it to be impressed upon them by others.
