COPY ISBN
Toddler-PreS–Red thumps, bounces, perfumes, and perches in this sensory-rich concept book that invites readers to experience color with their whole bodies. Riggs’s minimal, rhythmic text is paired with Pace’s soft, expressive art to evoke red’s emotional and physical impact. The final spread adds a moment of gentle reflection, encouraging presence and self-awareness.
VERDICT A ­visually striking and meditative concept book, well-suited for sensory exploration and early mindfulness collections.
