A colors book unlike any other—introducing not the names of colors, but a descriptive vocabulary for understanding the colors we see.
Every color has its own energy and beauty.
Some colors are juicy and vibrant. Or light and pale.
Playful and bright. Or dull and muted.
Do you have a favorite color?
From esteemed professor and author-illustrator Andrea Pippins comes this one-of-a-kind invitation to color appreciation! This engaging read-aloud introduces color-specific vocabulary that allows children to articulate the complexities of what they see, what they like, and why.
From tints and shades to warm and cool colors, monochromatic palettes to color contrast, these concepts will give readers the words and freedom to fully express themselves in color!
