Illustrated story of a young child who questions the significance of skin color. - Baker & Taylor
Intriguing collage illustrations frame a timeless story about the significance of color in which a child, speaking in verse, wonders if the natural world believes any particular color is more important than another. - Gale / Cengage Learning
Intriguing collage illustrations frame this timeless story of a young child who questions the significance of color. Speaking in verse, the child wonders if the natural world believes any particular color to be more important than another. Does the rain think I'm a color when it falls on my head? I wonder if the clouds think I'm a color... maybe they think I'm green or blue or red. The child comes to see the importance of a world filled with and accepting of all colors. Do I have to choose one color? I want to be them all - black, blue, purple, brown, pink, orange, yellow, red, white, and green. The whole world is full of colors - just like me.
