No kid can be good at everything. And, while Carter Carver was good at lots of cool things, colors had him stumped. That’s why he always guessed when it came to colors. But no one could tell. He knew how to look for hints and clues. Plus, he had, what his father called, a super-duper memory, and could hold the colors associated with many objects in his head. Then, when asked the color of a thing he knew, like a blueberry or a firetruck, Carter would recall that blueberries are always blue and firetrucks are red-without having to understand what ‘blue’ or ‘red’ meant. This worked fine for him. But his greatest fear was that his classmates would discover his ‘colors thing’ and tease him. So, Carter decided that there was one guaranteed way to avoid the potential embarrassment. He had to avoid school entirely. Luckily, his mother had a better idea.
This inspirational, day-in-the-life, illustrated children’s book, written in verse, can be enjoyed by any age. But it is perfect for young people between the ages of 4 and 9.

Wife, mother, and former IT Solutions Specialist and Consultant, Rosilyn Seay believes that children’s stories should mean something or reflect something in the life of the children who experience the stories-without weighing them down. They should spark the imagination of the children who hear or read them. They should also reflect positive values (without being preachy), boundaries (every child needs and wants them), and relatable life experiences. An avaricious reader, she started writing her own short stories, as a hobby, around the age of twelve. Later, as her sons were growing up, she realized that some of their rich trials and adventures should be preserved. So, she resumed her hobby, primarily for the benefit of her young audience. Recently, she decided to publish some of the stories she created over the years. Using her IT skills to illustrate her books, she now has published three children’s picture books (‘The Girl Who Loved Pots’, ‘Ardie’s Big Secret’, and ‘Colors Carter Carver’s Way’). Her one adult novel, ‘Just My Luck’, a gritty urban tale, was a collaborative effort with her sister, Lelia Coles, who died before the project could be completed.
