Celebrating How We are More Alike than Different

Rhyming poetry and children from around the world convey a story that asks about the colors we see in the natural world, all around the globe. A question is posed on the left page, and a corresponding color is named on the right.

Parent Perspective:
It is really hard to describe this book. Each "stanza" opens with descriptive text about a color, and a question about whether your color is the same as what "I" see. How a color is seen in different parts of the world varies, but the idea that color is something we share universally is represented beautifully and effectively.

The illustrations are lovely, and expressive. On several pages it is as though the child is looking straight at your young listener. This is one of those books that after you read (and maybe even before) your child will want to just sit and explore the images. Everyone - including a child in a wheelchair - can see themselves in this book.

Spot-on rhyme and a call-and-answer style draw readers into seeing what kinds of colors other kids see. Beautiful, expressive illustrations will engage readers to explore the book and connect with the kids they see on the page.
