We’re Coloring In the Parts of History That Got Erased
Unique Coloring is a home for stories history left out—
Starting with Larger Than Life, our YA historical fiction series.
History Left Them Out. We’re Writing Them Back In
The people who built movements, crossed oceans, and changed the course of history rarely made it into the textbooks.
Unique Coloring brings them back — not as footnotes, but as the heroes of their own stories. Every book is rooted in real research: primary, secondary, and tertiary sources, brought to life through narrative fiction written for young readers and adults alike.
Some Stories Get Told. Others Get Colored Out
You already know the names history decided to remember.
Unique Coloring is where you meet the ones it left behind — Martin Delany, Robert Smalls, Ida B. Wells, and more — as fully realized characters in stories built to be read, not just remembered.
Introducing Larger Than Life
Coming January 2027!
A YA historical fiction series that puts real, overlooked Black historical figures at the center of their own stories — researched deep, written for readers who want history that reads like a novel, not a syllabus.
Available January 2027 in hardcover, paperback, and ebook wherever books are sold.

The Pullman porters were the first all-black labor union in America. They were “African American” men who worked as servants on the luxury railroad cars owned by the Pullman Company in the late 1800s and early 1900s. They faced long hours, low wages, and constant racism from their employer and passengers. But they also became a powerful force for social change, spreading ideas and information across the country, supporting the Great Migration, and launching the civil rights movement.
In this video, you’ll learn the amazing story of the Pullman Porters, their struggles, their achievements, and their legacy. You’ll learn how they organized themselves, how they fought for their rights, and how they influenced American history and culture.
