Why did I love this book?
While Iām a fan of all of Denosā work (her art belongs in galleriesāand has been), Swatch has always stuck with me (and my family) as thereās something so simple and raw about trying to ātame colors,ā which is what Swatch, the artist, tries to do.
Like so much in life, some colors are easy to tame, and others arenāt, which is why I think this resonates so well with everyone whoās read it. And with those, like me, whoāve read it again. And again. And again.
1 author picked Swatch as one of their favorite books, and they share why you should read it. This book is for kids age 4, 5, 6, and 7.
A vibrant picture book featuring an irrepressible new character-perfect for fans of The Dot and Beautiful Oops!-from acclaimed illustrator Julia Denos. In a place where color ran wild, there lived a girl who was wilder still. Her name was Swatch, and color was her passion. From brave green to in-between gray to rumble-tumble pink ...Swatch wanted to collect them all. But colors don't always like to be tamed...This is an exuberant celebration of all the beauty and color that make up our lives.
