Bellen's Sneak Peek

COVER ART BY FANNY LIEM, COVER COURTESY SCHOLASTIC

Bellen Woodard, 11, is a crayon activist. When Bellen was in third grade, a classmate called a peach-colored crayon “the skin-colored crayon.” “I was kind of confused,” Bellen told TIME for Kids, “because my skin isn’t peach.” She was inspired to start a crayon brand. It’s called Bellen’s More than Peach. It includes crayons in many different skin colors. Bellen has written a book called More than Peach. In it, she tells her story. The book doesn’t come out until summer. But here’s a sneak peek at its cover.
