Industry Reviews
A delightful journey through a day filled with bright exciting colors...The story provides ample opportunities to talk about sizes, shapes, textures, and colors. Adventurous and exciting but simple enough for even the earliest readers, this is an excellent board book and a first purchase.

Once again, Light (Trucks Go, 2008, etc.) shows his understanding of the target age group. Beautiful in its simplicity, this book deserves a spot on any toddler's bookshelf.

Black Bird Yellow Sun succeeds on many levels and is sure to become a favorite board book, sparking a strong sense of story in the littlest readers.
