Chronicle Books just released "Mixed — Portraits of Multiracial Kids" . There is such synchronicity between what author Kip Fulbeck has done and what I do with Swirl Syndicate that I kinda' wish he and I were Wonder Twins...form of "mixed kid gift basket!" (Actually, when Fulbeck debuted his "Part Asian - 100% Hapa" exhibit at L.A.'s Japanese American National Museum a few years ago, I was invited to sell my shirts in the museum gift shop in conjunction. Alas, that was to be the end of our liaison. I need to be more enterprising and try to sync myself up with him again!
The book is filled with pix of kids of every hue and background, as well as their own little handwritten intros and letters from their parents. My daughter doesn't see many kids who look like her in her daily life; this book could be a great visual reminder/inspiration for all three of us.
