I want to be just like my dad. If he can do it, so can I. You just wait and see!

In this delightful story, a young boy looks up to his dad with awe and admiration, marveling at all the things his father can do. From fixing broken toys to building birdhouses, the father's talents seem endless.

Inspired by his dad's skills, the young protagonist decides to embark on his own journey of discovery. With determination and a sense of adventure, he sets out to try the same activities as his dad, eager to prove that he can do them too. Along the way, he encounters both successes and challenges, but his unwavering spirit keeps him going.

Filled with vibrant illustrations and a relatable storyline, "If Dad Can Do It, So Can I" is a celebration of the special bond between fathers and sons and the power of believing in oneself. This heartwarming tale will inspire young readers to embrace new challenges, believe in their own capabilities, and cherish the guidance and love of their parents. It is a perfect read-aloud book that teaches valuable life lessons while reinforcing the importance of family and self-confidence.

Builds Confidence and Self-Love with Every Page

We don’t just include diverse books — we center them. Every story we carry celebrates BIPOC voices and puts underrepresented protagonists front and center, ensuring every child can say, “That’s me.”

Authored by a BIPOC Creator — Real Representation, not Tokenism

We intentionally seek out BIPOC and indie creators whose stories deserve to shine — building shelves you won’t find anywhere else.

Vetted by Educators and Families for Quality and Age-Fit

Find the perfect book tailored to your child’s age, interests, and identity, making storytime meaningful and engaging.

Every child deserves to see themselves in the books they read.

You know that feeling when your kid sees themselves in a book and suddenly walks a little taller? That’s what we’re here for. Our curated collection is handpicked for one purpose: to help every child feel seen, celebrated, and inspired to dream big—no more endless scrolling or settling for stories that fall short. Here, every book is chosen to nurture confidence, empathy, and cultural pride.

Meet the Founder

Hi, children’s book lover! I’m Kanika.

As a classroom teacher, I’d spent countless afternoons searching for stories where my students could see themselves and came up empty-handed. I was tired of books that treated diversity like a checkbox, or worse, turned childhood joy into trauma. So, I did what teachers do best — I built what was missing.

My best friend and I began curating, partnering with independent authors and BIPOC creators to source high-quality stories that celebrated identity and belonging. We turned our living rooms into libraries and our mission into movement.

In 2019, Stories of a Colorful World launched with a simple promise: no more token shelves, no more exhausting searches — just stories that reflect every child’s worth.

Today, our collection spans 300+ titles by Black, Indigenous, and People of Color authors — books that build empathy, pride, and confidence one story at a time.

Building Empathy & Cultural Pride
Each book is selected to stretch empathy, self-awareness, and cultural pride at every age and stage.
Stories They’ll Return To
