Yellow and You
Overview
Gorgeous collage watercolors and lyrical, light poems teach children about the role individual colors play in our everyday lives making "everyday"mean something very special!Each book in the My First Colors series focuses on one of the primary colors, with a poetic text evoking the wonderful qualities of their many shades. Every spread is a marvelous collage of torn paper aglow with flowing watercolors. Bring on the Blue features the country environment through a field of forget me nots, the shadows of tall buildings, and bluefish in the bay. Ready for Red highlights an urban environment through the cheeks of children playing in the snow, a bucket of berries to be made into jam, and traffic lights and fire engines on a city street. Yellow and You features all things yellow, including a lapful of brown eyed Susans, a pride of lions, and a table full of lemons and lemonade. Children will learn that a single word can encompass many "shades" of meaning, and that colors are what make everyday life vivid and exciting.Candace Whitman has written and illustrated three previous children's books, with her 1995 Night is Like an Animal named one of the New York Times 10 best children's books of the year.
