My Favorite Color

A fun, rhyming read-aloud celebrating diversity, and a tool for teaching young readers the names of all the colours of the rainbow.

Enter her vibrant imagination as she considers every color and all the reasons that she loves the whole rainbow. Orange glows through autumn leaves, but pink is the color of sunsets and cotton candy! And green shines all around the garden ― how will she ever choose just one favorite color?
