Rainbow Colors - by Yvonne Pearson (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

A poetic and visually bold picture book that brings each color of the rainbow to life through lyrical language, nature-inspired imagery, and expressive design.

What color is cheerful, or calm, or full of mystery?

Rainbow Colors invites young readers to explore the beauty, personality, and emotion of each color--from cardinals and carrots to oceans and amethysts. Children will delight in guessing each hue before it's revealed, making this an engaging read-aloud that's perfect for classrooms, storytime, or quiet exploration.

What Makes Rainbow Colors Shine:

- INTERACTIVE & EDUCATIONAL: Combines STEM and SEL learning with a playful guessing-game format that builds color recognition and emotional vocabulary.
- STUNNING DESIGN: Hand-lettered typography and bold, textured illustrations create a strong visual identity that stands out on shelves and gift tables.
- BEAUTY MEETS SUBSTANCE: Goes beyond basic color naming--each page evokes the feeling of a hue, fostering sensory and emotional connections.
- CLASSROOM & GIFT-READY: A joyful, sturdy hardcover that belongs in preschool classrooms, storytime circles, and personal libraries alike.

Whether you're teaching color concepts or sharing a moment of wonder, Rainbow Colors is a vibrant celebration of how we see--and feel--the world around us.
