Synopsis

In this board book, Eric Carle and fourteen other best-loved picture book artists answer the classic kid question: what's your favorite color?

Everybody has a favorite color. Some like blue balloons or brown buildings or mint green ice cream cones. Eric Carle loves a yellow sun because children often include one in the corner of their pictures.

Beautiful, funny, and heartfelt, these artists' charmingly personal answers to "what's your favorite color?" will inspire readers to answer the question themselves.

Artists include:
Lauren Castillo, Bryan Collier, Mike Curato, Etienne Delessert, Anna Dewdney, Rafael Lopez, William Low, Marc Martin, Jill McElmurry, Yuyi Morales, Frann Preston-Gannon, Uri Shulevitz, Philip C. Stead, Melissa Sweet
