Book Review: 'You Are Light' by Aaron Becker

✰✰✰✰✰ This visually stunning board book introduces children to the most basic color wheel. Beginning with all the colors on the right-hand side, as the reader flips through the pages, you gradually rebuild the color wheel on the left beginning with the primary colors. Additionally, the poetic text and illustrations work well with the colors to describe the water cycle, which is also in its simplest form.

The Bottom Line: This is a brilliant introduction to both a little bit of color theory and science. Colorful plastic discs are used to filter the light and produce a color wheel as you read along. It's a creative idea that both children and caregivers will enjoy. Enthusiastically recommended for children in Preschool.
