Colour of People by Mauricio Negro
People come in different colours - and some of them change colour too. You might be blue with cold or be feeling a little green, but no matter what your race, you get feverish when you're sick, you can go cross-eyed with fear - and if you cut yourself, you bleed red. People are different - and people are the same. That is the message of this wordless picturebook, which takes a playful yet serious look at race, colour and the emotions. Originally published in Brazil.
`Extraordinarily simple and complex all at once, silently shouting a basic truth about the human condition: we are all different, we are all the same’ – Marie-Louise Fitzpatrick, award-winning picturebook author/artist; `A powerful wordless exploration of the paradigms surrounding skin colour, Colour of People gently breaks the barriers of racism and invites readers to question their own human connections.’ – Tarsila Kruse, picturebook artist; `A stunning book – a book for all mankind’ – Patricia Forde, author of The Wordsmith; `A thought-provoking and innovative way to introduce children to the concept of diversity.’ – Immigrant Council of Ireland
