Vivid: Poems & Notes About Color

Celebrate the art and science of color through poetry! A playful green dragon, a Lilac Point Siamese and a rainbow picnic take the reader on a rhyming journey of colors. What was the color pink named after? What color has the shortest wavelength of visible light? Or shout out "hello!" to the yellow poem. Paschkis' latest poetry book is energetic and filled with historical facts about colors combined with beautifully written short poems. Her paintings will inspire readers to discover new combinations of color and create art. A wonderful read-aloud for the whole family.
