Green Is a Chile Pepper
A Book of Colors

Green is a chile pepper, spicy and hot. Green is cilantro inside our pot. In this lively picture book, children discover a world of colors all around them: red is spices and swirling skirts, yellow is masa, tortillas, and sweet corn cake. Many of the featured objects are Latino in origin, and all are universal in appeal. With rich, boisterous illustrations, a fun-to-read rhyming text, and an informative glossary, this playful concept book will reinforce the colors found in every child's day! "A fun dive into culture and vocabulary (both English and Spanish) as well as color. And one more thing: the art work is just amazing!"--New York Family "Very rare picture book featuring Latino kiddos. Lovely on the eye. Rhymes to boot."--Elizabeth Bird, New York Times Public Library Collections Specialist
