Super simple, super stylish, this book proves that picture books don’t need words to tell a story, make you think, or make you laugh. A little boy paints a white wall bright pink with a roller and as the paint goes on, a row of birds are revealed. Turn the page and you can see them fly away. He starts again with bright blue paint, and reveals a shoal of fish, but then they swim off too. On he goes, through green, grey, yellow and purple, each time revealing an animal in the paint, until finally, a puppy emerges from the orange, and the two run off to play together! A celebration of the unexpected and of persistence, this is a clever and immensely appealing book. ~ Andrea Reece
A stylish and fresh wordless picture book, this original story about imaginative play brims with visual humour, bold colours, and a parade of cheeky animals! A little boy stands in front of the whitest of white walls. He readies his brush ...and begins to paint. First off, a coat of pink - but wait, what's that? The painted wall reveals six birdies, perched on a branch! Then he tries the blue paint and ...yes! It's happened again! Fourteen little fish emerge, swimming in the blue. Yellow, grey, green and purple - there's lots of surprise in store for our little painter...
Smart visual storytelling and bold graphic art give this book a unique look and feel.
