RED, YELLOW, BLUE, AND YOU
by Cynthia Vance & illustrated by Candace Whitman
Luscious watercolor collages form the raison d’être for this celebration of the primary colors. The oversized trim beautifully accommodates the softly textured forms, torn to ensure no sharp edges. Familiar—roses, the sun, the ocean—shares space with the unexpected—a red rooster, a giraffe, blueberry pie. The rhyming text carries the reader along easily, always relating the colors ultimately to the all-important “you.”
