Publisher Description
A little girl has a rainbow of emotions in this gentle debut picture book that encourages little ones to express their feelings through color.
You’re pink, you’re teal, you’re gray, you’re jade.
You’re every golden, warmy shade…
All of us have lots of feelings, and this sweet rhyming story cleverly uses colors to explore the wide range of emotions little ones experience throughout the day, from a shy scarlet to a quiet ecru to an exuberant magenta. Along the way it celebrates individuality and self-acceptance—after all, our feelings are the palette that makes us who we are!
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Infused with the pure pleasure of color, this debut from Rille and Sicuro (illustrator of The Moon Inside) links particular hues with particular moods, giving younger children a concrete way to talk about their feelings. Each of a dozen different spreads, outlined in black ink, is washed with a single color. A dark-haired, preschool-age girl wakes in her bedroom to the sunrise. All the objects in the room are bathed in shades of pale rose. "You're pink," the text begins. A page turn reveals the girl gazing thoughtfully through the water of her fish's bowl ("You're teal") as everything in the room falls into teal-colored shadow. Some of the colors associated with the girl's feelings derive from widely recognized expressions ("You're green" shows the girl gazing with envy at a child who was faster at finding the right block), while others represent looser associations, as when nap time is associated with the color lilac. A final encouraging message about accepting feelings ("So when you feel them, let them through!") concludes this reflective, rather than active, exploration of emotions a good choice for a mood-quieting readaloud or a springboard for discussion. Ages 3 8.
