Celebrating Diversity: Hazel and Emilio's Colorful Journey at Diversity by Freckles

Hey there! You came across Diversity by Freckles!

It's not your typical coloring book venture. Nope, it's a heartfelt project driven by love and a little guy's desire to see himself represented in the stories he loves. So, who's the magic behind it all? Meet Hazel and her amazing biracial son, Emilio – the dynamic duo shaking up the world of inclusive coloring books.

Imagine this: Hazel, a determined mom, searching high and low for coloring books that reflected her son, Emilio. But what did she find? Nothing quite matched the unique blend of cultures that Emilio embodies. And Emilio? Well, he wanted to see characters who looked like him too – a mix of backgrounds, just like his own.

So, what did they do? They decided to take matters into their own hands and create their own coloring books. But these weren't your ordinary books. Oh no! They were vibrant, diverse, and filled with characters of all colors, shapes, and sizes. From African American to biracial and multiracial identities, Diversity by Freckles had it covered.

And you know what? They're not going it alone. They're big believers in community, seeking feedback from parents, educators, and, of course, the kids themselves. Because who better than the little ones to tell us what they want to see in their coloring books?

In a world that sometimes overlooks inclusive representation, Hazel and Emilio are leading the way. Through their vibrant creations, they're showing kids everywhere that they're seen, heard, and valued – just as they are. And isn't that what it's all about?
