(2) PS Becker's striking board book about colors, the sun, and, more broadly, the environment and our interconnected ecology features an intricate laser-cut sun surrounded by a dozen different-colored die-cut circles in rainbow order; readers can hold the book up to light for a gorgeous effect. One central image on each spread points to the individuality of various elements in nature, while brief, poetic text simultaneously underscores their synergy.
