The power of protective maternal love transforms families, communities, and ultimately our world. When Tara Hackney adopted her daughter from India, a transformative realization occurred during a tender moment of singing “Jesus Loves the Little Children” to her traumatized toddler. The beloved song’s lyrics—”red and yellow, black and white”—suddenly felt exclusionary. Where was brown? This gap inspired Tara to reimagine the lyrics to “every color, every shade, just exactly as He made,” creating a beautiful children’s board book that celebrates diversity as an intentional part of God’s grand design.
