Review by Kirkus Book Review

A board book of colors celebrating natural and human-made parts of our world. Award-winning Jeffers' book Here We Are (2017) inspires this colorful board book. Each layout features a different color, with its name and accompanying stand-alone images in each hue against a white background. From the weary-eyed beige camel to the wizened orangutan, the animals have subtle personalities. Jeffers' soft, vibrant artwork holds the book together. The deep blues of Earth's oceans contrast with the deep dark green of the continents, tiny lights of humanity glittering across. The beautiful lavender flowers on a tree evoke the feeling of summer, a shady resting spot below and a climbing adventure above. Most impressive is the page for the color white. Jeffers manages to make even the ice blue of a rabbit and the creaminess of a polar bear's coat pop on the white page. The book lends itself nicely to lapsitting snugglefests with even infant listeners while also offering rich naming vocabulary to young toddlers as well. Though this one isn't groundbreaking, readers and caregivers will appreciate Jeffers' art and style. (This book was reviewed digitally.) An artistic romp through the rainbow.
