Celebrate the colors of children and the colors of love--not black or white or yellow or red, but roaring brown, whispering gold, tinkling pink, and more.

The pictures are incredibly beautiful and the story simple and easy to understand and discuss with young children. I will be using this book as a theme for a week in the month of November.
