Kansas City, MO -- With the divide caused by years of inequity touching the colored communities in the American culture, many parents and educators are seeing a great disparage of brown main characters in children's picture books. However, children’s author and illustrator Dr. Grace LaJoy Henderson is helping to change that with the release of her new children’s book series comprising of six books. Although the author initially created The Gracie Series for entertainment, the series is now playing a role in solving the need for culturally relevant books for diverse young readers everywhere.
