A little girl (who is actually the artist/author) lives in the desert. After a sand storm, she searches for the colors in her world. She finds pink sunsets, purple irises, the blue night sky and the beauty of nature all around her. The little girls journey is accompanied by more abstract, whimsical illustrations in bold, bright colors. The English words are written on one page with the Spanish words written on the opposite page. What a wonderful way for children to learn and be exposed to another language; either Spanish or English. Learning colors in another language is fun and easy with bold pictures all in that color and the word for that color printed in that same color. There is also a bilingual color glossary in the back of the book.
I would like to see more books like this in other languages as well so our kids to be exposed to the rest of the world. I plan on buying this book as well as Los Gatos Black on Halloween for my neice.
