Illustrated by
Aimée Sicuro.
With a spare rhyming text, this story offers insight into emotions. A young girl wakes at dawn: "You're pink." At school, dramatic play is "Mauve, and purpley too." Storytime is "a quiet ecru." The color-rich illustrations lead readers to "You're all the colors, from hue to hue. So when you feel them, let them through!" The story may inspire artistic and emotional discussion opportunities.
