Unwrapping Some Wonderful Illustrations for You
The Book
We are so lucky to have beautiful colours to appreciate no matter where we travel in this world of ours. This book highlights the joy and beauty of colours. It throws a colour party that every culture, country, race, gender and religion are invited to attend.
Ben Lerwill is a travel writer and Alette Straathof is a talented artist that creates a wonderful non-fiction picture book where readers can learn about colours in a fun, educational way. The author visits many locations in the world and points out how: white shines and sparkles in the desert of Oman, in icy Antarctica, and in sunny Australia. Pink blooms and brightens Japan as cherry blossoms appear in the springtime. It is found in a sweet-smelling Paris Bakery and discovered in a wide lake in Kenya as flamingos come out to feed, just to name a few scenarios.
The artwork is wonderful with vibrant, bold, rich colours that enrich the text's message. Similar colours come out to play and celebrate their likeness all across the globe.

Stunning colours flow from country to country binding us together and keeping us spellbound as we take in their magical resplendency. The book's message is positive, uplifting and unifies us as we connect with familiar colours no matter where our destination lands us. I highly recommend the book.
