In this wordless story, a young girl finds a book on the sidewalk, takes it back to her monochrome, nondescript apartment complex, and is transported by the explosive color and energy she finds inside. When the girl finishes the book, her apartment now thrums with its own vivid geometric display, exuding happiness. This book simply and persuasively speaks to the power of art to brighten and illuminate our lives.
