- What colors
do you see when you gaze at a desert or study a delicate fern?
How many ways can you describe the color black? Can you spot
a single leaf when you stare off into the autumn-kissed woods?

- Award-winning
author Jane Yolen drips colors of nature throughout her poems,
challenging readers to look closer. Is yellow just yellow,
or could it be...saffron, gold, canary, or lemon? How can a single
word like green satisfactorily describe the green of ferns,
trees, grass, stems, petals, limbs, and leaves?

- Color Me
a Rhyme
is so much more than a book of poetry; it's an artistic delight!
Jason Stemple's photographs are rich in color and texture, and
were meant to partner with Yolen's words.

- Slow down.
Savor the colors, and celebrate our beautiful world.
