This book is a lyrical celebration of the vibrant colours to be found in the world we all live in. It is an amazing introduction to geography told through the colour spectrum. Travelling around the world visiting different places and environments, the reader is taken on a celebration of both nature and human culture which promotes an inspiring and heartfelt message of unity. It is a book of discovery, a kaleidoscopic journey of the many colours that make up the world we live in. A most engaging and lyrical book that should be in every library, KS1 and early KS2 classroom and, I would suggest, every young reader’s bedroom. Teachers in primary schools could be using this to allow pupils to understand what a magical, colourful and varied world we share. The special colours of white, pink, yellow, blue, green and red allow the pupils to promote a message that the author sums up on the last page of this terrific book. ‘We might have different languages and beliefs, different foods and traditions but we all share the same world. That is why it is so important that we cherish it’.
Paul Baker
