Colors come alive throughout the seasons in this delightfully whimsical tale penned by an award-winning poet. Lyrical writing captures the sights, smells, tastes, and mood of red singing from treetops, green trilling from trees, brown rustling and whispering, and white floating while the opulently-dressed, triangle-shaped main character plays outside, primarily with his canine companion. Intricate mixed media and computer-illustrated art accurately bring the child’s adventures to life with text more suited for telling aloud, either to one child or several. Lone audiences are likely to be drawn to finding all the details found in the folk-inspired art. Text placement changes with each page, and is sometimes overshadowed by the dark artwork, though the words for colors are highlighted with different backgrounds. Colors unexpectedly incorporated into each season’s tale make this a fresh choice for all libraries.
