Mulberry Book Winner All the Colors of the Earth by Sheila Hamanaka is a work of art! The ondulating text describes children's skin tones and hair in terms of natural phenomena ("...the roaring browns of bears"; "...hair that curls like sleeping cats in snoozy cat colors") and then describes love for these children with rich colors and flavors ("...love comes in cinnamon, walnut, and wheat..."). Hamanaka's oil paintings are all double-page spreads filled with the colors of earth, sky, and water, and the texture of the artist's canvas shines through. No wonder Ms. Primrose loves this book. She will inscribe it in her own words for your special child.
