Publisher's Note
Difference is one of the things that makes the world a beautiful place. With simple rhyme and lively illustrations, Lorianne Siomades encourages children to look at the people, places, and things around them, and think about what makes them different -- and beautiful. Here is a little book for preschoolers with a big message.

Industry Reviews
PreS-Gr 1-At first glance, this lively look at colors seems like the hundreds of other concept books for this age group. However, no single color is named in the entire text. Instead, Siomades explores the relationship between colors and the identities and functions of familiar animate and inanimate objects. For example, "If I made the sun this color (blue), would it still be just as hot?" "If I made my beets this color (yellow), would they taste like beets or not?" Most importantly, the author asks, "What if I were not the color that I was meant to be...Would you still be my friend? Would you still like me?" The attractive illustrations are akin to Eric Carle's collages and feature such delights as a big aqua gorilla, a gray peacock, and the long neck of a blue giraffe. Children will think the book is one of those silly games where they can determine what is wrong with this picture, but some guidance will be necessary for them to get the subtle underlying message. This twist on the adage "You can't judge a book by its cover" will certainly add to discussions of how color applies to perceptions and preconceived ideas.-Torrie Hodgson, Burlington Public Library, WA
