Bookroo's summary
In a world where colors run free, Swatch, a spirited girl, seeks to capture every hue—from bold green to soft gray. But as she discovers, colors have a mind of their own. Can Swatch learn to appreciate their untamed beauty, or will her quest lead to unexpected challenges? Dive into a vibrant tale of passion and discovery, where the wildness of color mirrors the wildness of life itself.
From the publisher
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.
