Black: The Many Wonders of My World is a celebration of the color black, from author Nancy Johnson James and artist Constance Moore, the team who created Brown: The Many Shades of Love.
Black is a wonderful color. Black is special. It is true. It’s the sky when the morning is new.
In this loving and lovely ode to the color black, a girl describes the many wonders of her world—from the black of starry nights to her own black eyes, clear and bright.
“An eye-opening tribute to an often underrated color.” —Kirkus Reviews
“The text discusses positive examples of the color black, deliberately diminishing its stereotypical associations with danger, negativity, and sadness. Childlike collage illustrations layer images on abstract or earth-toned backgrounds, successfully conveying black’s ubiquitous presence in the world, along with its beauty.” —Booklist
