About This Book

Colors come alive through rhythm and verse inspired by Latin American cultures in this bilingual picture book. Illustrator Paula Barragán’s bold cut-paper images pair each color with vivid cultural imagery, from “green as Mexican iguanas” to warm browns of traditional foods. The book invites children to snap, tap, and dance along while learning color names in English and Spanish. A glossary with pronunciation guides helps families explore two languages together.
