Why this book

A story every child deserves to hear.

Cyan Canvas was written for the children we serve and the classmates who grow up beside them. It gives families an easy, joyful way to talk about differences.

Creativity

Traci finds her voice through art. The book invites children to pick up a brush, a crayon, or a pencil and find theirs too.

Friendship

Traci's friends learn to see her gifts, not just her differences. It is a gentle model for how children can include one another.

Confidence

Children who see themselves in Traci close the book standing a little taller. That is the gift the title promises.
