About This Book
Reach for this book when your toddler begins to notice the vibrant world around them and wants to name the colors they see. It is an ideal choice for quiet moments when you want to encourage a child's natural curiosity about how the world is put together through art and observation. Using Ellie the elephant as a friendly guide, the story explores the primary and secondary colors as they appear in her environment. The book moves beyond simple identification to show the process of creation. It captures the joy of making something new and the sense of accomplishment that comes from finishing a project. Because it is a board book, it is perfectly suited for small hands to explore independently or for a snuggly lap-read. Parents will appreciate how it fosters a positive attitude toward self-expression and the wonder of artistic discovery.
