About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is beginning to notice the nuances of the world around them or when they are first experimenting with art supplies. It is the perfect companion for that transition from simply naming colors to understanding how they relate and transform. This rhythmic guide uses playful poetry to introduce the color wheel, explaining primary and secondary colors in a way that feels like a magic trick rather than a lesson. Beyond the art theory, the book fosters a sense of wonder and creative agency. By showing how colors combine to create new ones, it encourages children to experiment and see themselves as creators. The gentle, rhyming text is ideal for children aged 3 to 7, providing a foundational vocabulary for both art and science. It is an excellent choice for a quiet afternoon of reading followed by a hands-on painting session.
