Grass can be pink! Eggs, too. What color is a cloud? An apple? Discover the surprising answers in each color grid! Each of the eleven items is shown with at least 25 different shades in this artful swatch book of veritable colors. They are presented alongside a grid of color ranges: the “apple” page features yellows, greens, and reds; the “egg” page a range of greens to grays. The read-along text is playful and philosophical, poetic and factual– all towards expanding readers’ assumptions. Inspired by the Whitney Museum’s approach to looking at art, these books provide a new way to look at the world.With sturdy-pages.
Why I like this book: These Colors are Bananas challenges expectations of what colors fruits are supposed to be and offers realistic views of the spectrum of colors. It starts with relatable items like fruits and grass and shifts to showing readers that humans also exist in a variety of colors
