Hello @Lizzie
As an inclusive Community, may I suggest reading one of Uncle Remus, books through the lens they were intended that written by an Irish lad who was raised by his mum alone and left home at 14 years of age in America to work on the Plantations. He made friends with the locals and spent many a night with them in times we will never experience - no electricity, no internet, no coloured pencils, no wax crayons or no paints but plenty of wild life animals and new friends out in the rural settings of the 1800's.
He, like Walt Disney who introduced Technicolour, did however have access to Tar to draw and paint with.
There's lessons in these stories for us all.
Notably the challenges of communicating in another language other than one's own.
Another alternative, find some of Gyo Fujikawa's works and embrace the way she included multiple races of children.
Have a great holiday and when you treat yourself to an icecream ponder upon the whole marketing concept from the original product to the packaging of the product and stories that lead to the finished product.
