annieb123's Review of One World, Many Colors

by Ben Lerwill

We share one world, we share many colors.

One World, Many Colors is a lyrical celebration of the vibrant colors waiting to be found in all corners of the world. From the ice-white plains of Antarctica to the soft pink blossoms of the Japanese countryside. The same colors can be found everywhere else in the world, in nature, in our cities, and in our cultures.

From travel writer Ben Lerwill, and with beautiful illustrations from Alette Straathof this non-fiction picture book opens children's eyes to the wonders of the world and the spectrum of color that we share.

Originally published on my blog: Nonstop Reader.

One World, Many Colors is a beautifully vibrant illustrated book for children by Ben Lerwill and Alette Straathof. Due out 17th March 2020 from Quarto on their Words and Pictures imprint, it's 32 pages and will be available in hardcover format.

The watercolor illustrations are colorful and detailed. There are lots of subtle semi-hidden aspects which invite a closer lingering look. The accompanying text describes a world of connectedness and unity and emphasizes the similarities while celebrating the differences in the world we all share. The writing is simple and understandable for all ages and the book will likely become a favorite read-to-me book. It's an appealing and gentle book full of inclusivity and kindness. I liked it very much.

It would make a superlative reading-circle, classroom, or library read as well as a nice gift for youngsters.

Four stars.

Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.
