Black and White are so different—how can they ever get along? White wants to explore the world, but Black would rather stay under the bed. Black is playful and creative; White wants everything neat and tidy. But when Black and White work together, they can go on the most amazing adventures . . .

Perfect for teaching colors and opposites, Black and White is an imaginative exploration of the joys of diversity.

Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
“A book for adults and little ones to share, appreciate, and consider together.”

“An intriguing exploration of collaborative play.”
The Horn Book Magazine
“Black and White, more abstract voices than concrete characters, lightly present a metaphor regarding the nature of difference, creativity, and collaboration.”
