Swatch: The Girl Who Loved Color

40 pp. | HarperCollins/Balzer + Bray | March, 2016 | Trade ISBN 978-0-06-236638-2 $17.99
(4) K-3 This is the story of "color tamer" Swatch, a girl who could "run with the wildest shades" and "train them to dance / and do magic." The plot kicks in at the book's midpoint, when Swatch vows to capture "Yellowest Yellow"--the "one color left to catch." It's rather precious, but the bold blasts of color can be visually stunning.
