Love Is My Favorite Color

Sarah Sammis

A very colorful and optimistic book. Beautifully illustrated.

The poem is laid out in an almost call and response fashion. The narrator will make a statement: love is my favorite color. A second line follows as explanation or contemplation: I love every color I see.

The lines are paired with one of Melissa Castrillón's delightful illustrations. The initial one presents colors in arrangements that I personally love to use (purple and orange, pink and green) but are often frowned upon in more traditional color theory discussions.

Further into the poem the concepts become both more abstract and more revolutionary. They are calls for action to be more tolerant, more caring, more open minded, more in tune with the beauty and variety of life.
