Illustrated by
Giuliana Gregori.
"Color the world / With greens and with blues / Heal up the world / With the words that you choose." Short, bouncy rhymes are meant to encourage readers to enjoy and care for, basically, the whole world. The well-meaning commands are pretty vague for preschoolers, but the perky illustrations--such as one of children helping a friend with a scraped knee--make them more concrete.
