This book of poems dedicated to each color is a beautiful example of words and pictures working together.  Illustrations of mixed media collage invite studying, supporting and expanding upon the text.  Colors are used both literally and figuratively. Color words are printed in that color, and some descriptions of color are left for the reader to interpret, with pictures picking up where the words leave off.  The reader is drawn into the illustrations to hunt out the depictions found in the text as well as more things of that color on each page.  My one disappointment was some times when the illustrations did not include all the textual references:  I hunted for red rhubarb and feathery maples, but could not find them.
