Newly launched The Adventures of Harmony
children’s book series, written by author Edward Rea with illustrations by
famed Dora
the Explorer cartoon illustrator Curt Wallstead, explores
the issue of growing up in a multi-racial household.
The first book of the series introduces Harmony
and her diverse family reflecting the racial diversity that exists in many
children’s lives in their homes, at their schools and in their communities.
Readers have the opportunity to follow Harmony as she explores different parts
of the world and learns those essential human elements that connect us all.
“I was inspired to create this book series by
observing my community and noticing that multi-racial families are a reality
for a large number of families in the US and are grossly underrepresented in
children’s literature.,” said author Edward Rea. “I want to provide something
for children that reflects their reality and the changing face of America

I like the sound of this book. You're absolutely spot on about multiracial aspects of life being generally under-represented in children's books.
Well done.
