Counting in Color is a complete, joyful introduction to numbers 0–10 that gives you and your child a clear path from "where do I start?" to "my baby is READY."

Every number follows the same simple routine—rhymes, stories, tracing, writing, counting, matching. No guessing. No piecing things together. Just open and teach.

Here's what to do: Set aside 5–10 minutes a day. Open to a number. Read the rhyme together. Let your little one trace, color, count, and explore. That's it. You're teaching—and you're doing it beautifully.

In those few minutes, your child builds:

✨ Number recognition (pointing out numbers everywhere they go)

✨ Number writing (with confidence and correct formation)

✨ Counting skills (understanding that numbers mean real amounts)

✨ One-to-one correspondence (the foundation for addition and subtraction)

✨ Fine motor strength (preparing their hands for all the writing ahead)

These aren't just "nice to have" skills, mama. This is exactly what kindergarten teachers look for. And your baby will walk in with ALL of it.

And here's what makes this book different from everything else on the shelf:

Every page features Black children. Black families. Black joy.

Your child learns through stories of cousins playing Double Dutch, fruits at a Caribbean beach picnic, ballet slippers, barrettes, and jump ropes. They see themselves on every page—not as an afterthought, but at the center.

Because our children deserve an education that affirms their identity AND expands their possibilities. Kindergarten readiness and cultural pride aren't an either/or. Our babies get BOTH.
