Pure poetry perfection, this picturebook practically begs to be read aloud. I love all of the expansive descriptions of the different types of brown and the personal connection that the narrator makes to each shade. Warm-toned illustrations make the story and its characters feel simultaneously timeless and cozy, while minute details and intricate patterns keep the book firmly in the present moment. As its subtitle notes, this whole book is a celebration of the power, history, and beauty of the color brown.
