SWATCH: THE GIRL WHO LOVED COLOR
by Julia Denos
This week's pick is from cottager Jamie Michalak.
In a place where color runs wild lives a girl who is wilder still. Her name is Swatch, and she's a color catcher. From brave green to in-between gray to rumble-tumble pink, Swatch wants to collect them all. But colors don't always like to be tamed.
If a more exuberant read-aloud exists, we've yet to see it. The vibrant cover pops off the shelves, and a riot of color bursts from its pages.

Why kids will love it…
SWATCH will inspire little color collectors to create their own masterpieces. (And maybe even paint their face to look like Swatch!)Take this one out on a rainy day for read-aloud, paint-along, color-naming fun.
