Today we feature the cover of ALL COLORS, written and illustrated by Amalia Hoffman (Schiffer Publishing), coming out September 29. ALL COLORS introduces children, ages 2-6, to colors and textures while conveying a message about friendship, diversity, and inclusion. As the reader turns the pages, colors are introduced, creating the image of a little boy. Join in the fun as the boy dips his paintbrush in paint splotches and discovers that friends come in all colors.
