What is A Song of Colours about?

Explore a dazzling world of colour through twelve lively poems. Blue, white, red, grey, black, yellow, orange, green, brown, pink and purple each have their own collection of familiar objects, surprising images and touches of magic. From seashells and feathers to hippos and rainbows, every page invites children to look closely, imagine freely and discover the many ways colours can be seen in the world around them. The final poem brings every shade together in a joyful celebration of colour.
