Description

From the creator of Have You Seen My Dragon? comes an exploration of color that truly soars.

As a solitary black bird wings its way through the day, little ones are treated to a magnificent flight from one vibrant color to another. Inimitable illustrator Steve Light showcases a new style in this board book for the youngest readers. Children can journey with the graceful black bird and its tiny worm friend past orange leaves, through green grass, onto gray rocks, under pink flowers, and more before coming to rest beneath a brilliant blue moon.

Praise for Black Bird Yellow Sun

A delightful journey through a day filled with bright exciting colors...The story provides ample opportunities to talk about sizes, shapes, textures, and colors. Adventurous and exciting but simple enough for even the earliest readers, this is an excellent board book and a first purchase.
—School Library Journal (starred review)

Once again, Light (Trucks Go, 2008, etc.) shows his understanding of the target age group. Beautiful in its simplicity, this book deserves a spot on any toddler's bookshelf.
