Colors are beautiful
and simply divine!
Leaf through the pages.
They stand out!
They shine!
Red from a bug? Blue from a plant? Green from a rock? Amazing!
Children are surrounded by colors. Nature is a treasury of colors. Hence, it is natural for children to want to express what they feel and see with colors themselves. This begs a question. How can children MAKE colors? How did people make colors in the olden days? Even people with dwelt in caves long ago made colors. Just how did they do it? What did they use? Our dear Shapes, in their own love for colors, have long studied the ancient arts of creating colors. And to all children who are curious to know as well, they are more than happy to share with them story after story about this wonderful art. Their stories touch upon histories, continents, and cultures of yesterday and of today. Indeed, the children are encouraged to go beyond like colors and knowing their names. In The Shape Story 4, they are encouraged to go hands-on. Children can make colors, too, you know. (with parental guidance, of course!)
Miss Anna’s The Shape Story 4 is a colorful gem! In this educational fiction, Miss Anna invites children to explore the world of pigments and dyes with their newest friends, the Shapes. Full of delightful pictures and told with the coziness of a rhyme, The Shape Story 4 will warm the hearts and tickle the minds of children and parents alike. Without a doubt, children will start to gaze at colors in a different way, a yet deeper way. After all, it is easy to take colors for granted, since they are readily available as crayons and markers. But thousands of years ago, hundreds of years ago even, colors had to be made–by hand. Painters in their art studios and monks in their monasteries, for example, made their own concoction of pigments and dyes from the resources available. A lot of delicate labor was involved in creating a small cake or a dab of paste or a watery pigment of a color. Experimentations and patient observations accompanied such endeavors, but such pursuits were well rewarded with the creation of beautiful pigments, pigments that held much promise. Indeed, our forefathers had passion and much pride in their craft. And they should, since the colors they had created still shine out brilliantly in the paintings that decorate the lofty museum hallways and galleries.
In The Shape Story 4, children are introduced to this colorful craft of making colors. Children are invited into studios, kitchens, and places in the past and in the present to see how people made/make pigments and dyes from the treasures nature provides. If you like stories told with the comfort of a rhyme, if you would like to know more about these colorful secrets, snuggle in with your child for a wonderful read. Miss Anna’s The Shape Story 4 is colorfully enriching and eye-opening. Buy the book and learn about the ancient craft of making colors. The Shapes will be there, eagerly waiting to share with you the stories they have found.
