Publisher Comments:

This "subversive" book is now available in paperback! When the NEA -rescinded funding for The Story of Colors, the news hit the cover of the New York Times and made the book an instant bestseller. But far from being subversive, this beautifully illustrated folktale teaches us all about the value of diversity. Old man Antonio tells how a long time ago the world was just black and white and gray. This bored the gods, so they went looking for bright colors and they found them in the most peculiar places!

No one exactly knows who -Subcomandante Marcos is, but since New Year’s Day 1994, when the Zapatistas declared war on the Mexican government, he has become a post-modern revolutionary hero.

Synopsis:

The imfamous children's book where el subcommandante Marcos learns how the world blossomed with colors.

About the Author

When it comes to Marcos, the facts seem quite elusive.

On New Years Day, 1994, Subcomandante Marcos and the Zapatistas, wearing their trademark ski masks, erupted on the world scene by declaring war on the Mexican government and attacking San Cristobal, Chiapas. Since that time Marcosbecause of his charm, intelligence and charismahas become a post-modern revolutionary hero. Marcos continues to be the focus of media attentionin Mexico, in the States, and internationally.
