Recensioner i media

Dashes of color juxtaposed against densely cross-hatched grayscale backgrounds help tell this wordless tale. . . . Warm, rich, and organically flowing about the page, the rainbows evoke the joyful spirit of art, music, and shared community. — Kirkus ReviewsStunning . . . . A wonderful wordless picture book that will inspire readers to search for the things that add color to their lives. — Publishers Weekly"Meticulously rendered in cross-hatched grayscale, the immersive art fills sweeping architectural views with intriguing, loosely suggested detail. Bursts of rainbow color—revealing light, music, and their reflected wonders—illuminate the muted palette with striking effect. Using a setting both familiar and awe-inspiring to evoke mood and emotion, a gentle reflection on how delight in light and music can transform an ordinary day." — Booklist
