Black: The Many Wonders of My World by James, Nancy Johnson

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
