Description/Notes
Little Maya longs to find brilliant, beautiful, inspiring color in her world. But Maya’s world, the Mojave Desert, seems to be nothing but hot, dry, tan sand. With the help of a feathered friend, she looks extra-hard to discover the colors in her world. And she does, in the brilliant purple of her mother's flowers, the cool green of a cactus, the hot pink sunset, and the shiny black of Papi's hair. This bilingual book’s appealing narrative and bold illustrations encourage early readers to observe and explore, and to discover the colors in their own world. Maya, who lives in the dusty desert, opens her eyes wide to find the colors in her world, from Papi's black hair and Mami's orange and purple flowers to Maya's red swing set and the fiery pink sunset.
