When they finally do, they give each other such a big hug that they turn green! How they find their true colors again concludes a wonderfully satisfying story told with colorful pieces of torn paper and very few words. Leo Lionni launched his children's book career in 1959 with <i>Little Blue and Little Yellow, </i> and this 50th-anniversary edition, complete with Lionni's own explanation of how the book came to be, is sure to resonate with children today.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"An unusual, imaginative, stimulating, and appealing picture book." --<i>The Horn Book Magazine</i> <p/>"Abstract art with heart." --<i>School Library Journal</i>'s Top 100 Picture Books Poll (voted #66)<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Leo Lionni, an internationally known designer, illustrator, and graphic artist, was born in Holland and lived in Italy until he came to the United States in 1939.
