There is nothing better than color. Nate loves colorful food and the varying shades of leaves in autumn. Also, he notices that people come in all different colors, too! When his parents drop him off on his first day of school, Nate is a little nervous but is quickly distracted by all the beautiful colors. What will he learn at school today?

The World is Beautiful with Colors by Shriyanie Fernando is a charming story for children that emphasizes the inclusion of all races and ethnicities in an age-appropriate manner. The story takes on the third-person perspective and follows Nate, a wonderfully curious boy, as he explores the world of color.

There were many things to love about the story, but my favorite was the beautiful message. Children are curious creatures, and little Nate was no exception. I loved how he learned about equality through positive affirmations expressed by his mother and the teacher. His parents allowed him to learn through humor and creativity at home. Nate’s teacher taught an engaging lesson about fruits and vegetables of all different colors and connected that with the diversity in shades of each student.

Another thing I enjoyed was the vibrant illustrations throughout. Rich colors and joyful faces grace every page and will quickly reel children into the story. Furthermore, the font was a child-friendly size, and the length of each paragraph wasn’t overwhelming, making it simple for a young reader to follow along with the help of a parent or caregiver.

There wasn’t anything to dislike about the story, and it was professionally edited. I am delighted to give The World is Beautiful with Colors a rating of four out of four stars because of its strong message of inclusivity and eye-catching pictures. I would recommend this book to parents who want to teach their children about the diverse world they live in and encourage connectedness. The book would also be useful in a classroom setting.

This book sounds like a good place to start this immensely important and even more difficult topic. Thank you for your informative review.

I like what you said about the vibrant illustrations and rich colors. I think for a young age group, good illustrations are vital to capture a child's attention.

This is typical children 's book. The messages are apt. I could take out teachings based on racism and to cope with your environment.
You are yet to be the best version of yourself. Keep refining.

The author is brilliant to make up a storyline about colors. Sometimes we need to take a step back and imagine what colors look like to a child. Great review!

These books that teach children to be anti-racial are really important. This looks like a nice and great book for children with good morals to learn. Thanks for the nice review.

Yes everything is better with colors. I’d pick a colorful dress over a drily colored one. Most times, the more colorful it is, the better. I think this would be a great book for children.
