"It's rare that a children's book with this level of craftsmanship comes along today..." Jennifer MacLeod

In the beginning, there was nothing. No colors at all. Day by day by day, God poured and planted and created the colors of the world. God said, "This is very good." And it was.

This lyrical story pairs each day of Creation with a color. On the first day, God separated the crisp, strong blacks from the wintry, pale whites. On day two, God poured bubbling blues across the skies and into the watery oceans and seas.... The story continues until the sixth day, which celebrates the diversity of animals and people, and ends with the seventh day when God rested.

A note to readers invites children to spot the colors around them, and to notice details in the world with fresh eyes and with wonder.
