6-year-old creates coloring book to teach kids about black Indigenous cultures

What were you doing when you were in second grade? Probably not writing a book, like the incredible 6-year-old Vanae James-Bey was.

Along with her mother, Veronica Bey, Vanae created The Indigenous Adventures of Princess Vanae, a 20-page coloring book that educates children ages 5 through 13 about black Indigenous cultures around the globe. The book officially launched March 31, and has increasingly gained popularity over the past month.
