De Colores
What's De Colores About
De colores, “bright with colors,” is sung all over the Spanish-speaking world. People joyfully grab hands, sway, and sing the words that celebrate the beauty of spring and the strength of love. Caldecott Medal-winner David Diaz illustrates this bilingual folksong in vibrant color using acrylic, pencil, and colored pencil.
