Bookroo's summary

A young girl embarks on a journey through vibrant colors, questioning the world she sees and the mysteries beyond her reach. From sunny orange egg yolks to the elusive blue of a whale, her playful exploration challenges perceptions and invites wonder. As she navigates through a year or a day, her observations become a philosophical dance between reality and imagination. What colors truly exist, and which are mere illusions? This poetic adventure invites readers to ponder the beauty and mystery of the world through a child's eyes, where every hue tells a story waiting to be discovered.

This book is lovely, the only down side is it talks about red like the blood inside your body, though it's not red inside your body.
