Over the next few weeks I will be giving away copies of children’s books – in honor of Picture Book Month and in time for holiday gifting. I have been lucky enough to receive several copies of these books for free to read and post a review. It’s a wonderful way to get to know new authors. Here is the first book for the give-away. If you’d like to be considered for one of TWO COPIES of the book, leave a comment stating your favorite color and why you like it. Names will be thrown in a hat and two winners randomly drawn and announced in a few weeks.
Here is my review for ALL COLORS by Amalia Hoffman
A board book of color, texture, and vitality that will have the youngest readers captivated. Teaches the simple but important lesson that friendship and love come in all colors.
Woohoo! Congratulations Amalia! Love that this is a board book. My favorite color is the purplish-lavender that comes right before the dawn or at sunset!
Hi KIm, I don’t have a favorite. I don’t wear white because it gets dirty quickly & I don’t look good in yellow but I do love it.
That’s an amazing color.
My favorite color has always been RED for as long as I can remember. Red is bold and vibrant. My grandmother took me with her on a bus to Keyport when I was a little girl and had me pick out my favorite color of embroidery thread that she used to make a tablecloth for me, which I still have and cherish. I have more red shirts than any other color and seem to be drawn to red whenever shopping for a new shirt. Red looks best on me. At least I think so!
I think red is one of those colors that looks good on everyone…especially as we women get older. :>)
Hi Kathy, Red is cool !
Hi! Blue is my favorite color because it makes me feel calm.
Yes, blue has a great calming effect
Blue makes me feel like I’m carrying a bit of the sky with me. I am partial to yellow. Naomi.
I guess rusty reds and oranges of autumn leaves are my favorite colors. It’s my favorite time of year and it just makes me happy.
I love the colors of autumn too. My yard is orange & bright red
hmmm…well, this is always a tough one because, especially as an artist, I’d say, I love virtually all colors for all kinds of reasons, but I will usually settle on turquoise or any combo of blue and green, like teal, or a typical “blue green” 🙂 Can’t say why other than I’m never disappointed by it and am always uplifted and drawn to those colors 😀 And you’re SO generous, Darlene, with your giveaways 😀 oxox
All colors is what my book is all about- they’re all beautiful & people come in all colors
Amalia, this really is a beautiful, fresh approach to colors. LOVE it 😀 I hope you’re well! oxox
I make sure to wear a colorful coat in the winter to “spruce” things up
Isn’t it a wonderful world of color? My clothing color choices tend to hover on greens, teals, blues, but I have a representation of nearly every color of the rainbow in my closet. My daughter, who lives in Boston, laments that once winter comes, everyone there switches to black. She refuses to do so, since color makes a day much more sunny!
You know, I only paid attention to that whole “seasonal color” thing with clothing when I was a kid. I’m not one to conform to many things and that was certainly one of them! lol I’ve been wearing mostly black for years because gaining weight, it was difficult to find colored clothing that looked good. I’ve expanded a bit more over recent years and it’s nice to wear some color again 😀
Congratulations, Amalia! My favorite color has changed down through the years. Yellow is my favorite color – but not to wear. I also like blues and greens.
Thanks Janet, I also don’t wear yellow but love seeing bit in sunflowers, lemons and sunshine
Yellow always cheers me up and is a perfect winter color…giving us sun when there is so little.
