“We look at the world every day.
You and me.
Do we see the same things?
Do you see what I see?”
In beautiful, evocative rhyme, this lovely picture book helps children consider the colors of their everyday lives . . . and imagine how others around the world experience the very same things.
No matter where they live, all children gaze at the blue sky, bask in the warmth of the golden sun, dig in the rich dirt, and watch clouds grow soft and rosy at end of day. Through the eyes of one inquisitive and thoughtful young narrator, young readers explore the idea of perspective, and come to realize that all of us, everywhere, share the colors of the world. The gentle, poetic text and gorgeous collaged illustrations make this just right to say goodnight.

Gold, for example, is ‘warm’ and ‘full of sparkle,’ whereas blue is ‘deep, wide, and open.’ Each stanza ends with versions of the same question, which concludes across the gutter or after a page turn: ‘Is your gold… / …like my gold?’ creating a repetitive pattern that will…
