One World, Many Colors is a beautiful picture book that shows beauty from around the world while teaching colors. The art really is lovely (aside from rather busy and confusing cover art), and the subjects of each painted illustration range from urban to rural to wilderness, featuring people from many different areas of the world (Brazil, Vietnam, France, United States, etc) as well as a great variety of flora and fauna. The art is not only beautiful at a quick glance, but features little details that can be noticed upon more careful examination. The text is small black lettering, so this is definitely a book to read to a child, not an early reading text. But given the lovely art and diverse subject matter, this should be a book that is a pleasure to share with the children in your life. I will be keeping this in mind for future gifts for the children in my life.
Thank you to #NetGalley and Quarto Publishing for letting me read a digital advanced copy of #oneworldmanycolors . This is my honest opinion.
I enjoyed this book! It will do great at educating children on different colors, and different aspects of them around the world. The illustrations were also very well done.
I received an advanced reader copy of this book in exchange for an honest review via netgalley and the publishers.
A beautifully illustrated book for children about not only all the different colours there are in the world but how the world is for all of us to enjoy and share no matter where we live and who we are (culturally, religiously, race, gender etc). This is a lovely book and I loved the map at the end which shows with a symbol from each country where it is on the map.
The theme and ideas in this book are nice. The illustrations are pleasing and the summary and map at the end of the book make a great visual for all of the places mentioned. I learned that the Antarctic Ocean is now called the Southern Ocean. I also had to check the "blossom of Japan" because I thought it should be "blossoms" and think that kids would expect that as well. This would be a good beginning book to point out the idea of "we are all different, we are all the same", but it lacks a bit of oomph.
Clearly written descriptive text and bright, colorful, detailed illustrations show how color brightens our world. A map at the end of the book shows where these same sights can be found. This is an appealing and useful book to share with young readers to broaden their sense of place and their enjoyment and appreciation of color.
The cover and title intrigued me and I am happy I was approved for an advanced reader copy. This book is a charming look at different parts of the world with all the colours of the rainbow. The illustrations are beautiful and eye catching paintings and the text of each country is interesting and entertaining.
One World, Many Colors by Ben Lerwill is a beautiful book that takes its reader on a journey through the world looking at the many different colors. From Antarctica to Paris, New York to Spain we all share the same world, we all share many colors. The book is easy to read and will capture anyone's attention with it's beautiful illustrations. This would make a wonderful addition on any child's book shelf.
I enjoyed looking at this picture book with my children. My eldest is 10 and she enjoyed it just as much as my youngest (1) did. The colours are so vibrant and bright so it really catches the eyes of the reader.
There are lots of picture books out there which introduce children to colours, but this one is different as it is a bit deeper than that - it shows readers where you can find different colours. Not your usual 'green apple' 'yellow duck' but instead describing places around the world so it's deeper and more interesting. It also means it appeals to a wider age group.
This is a great way to introduce colours to your children, as well as having them explore the concept of a bigger world around us.
