The protagonist begins the morning “excited as bright yellow” and “curious as deep green.” Later, a new friend makes the youngster feel “tickled pink,” but when that friend plays with someone else, the child cycles through a “ruby red blaze,” “gloomy blue,” and “down-in-the-dumps gray.” The two or three sentences of poetic text on each page tell the story while also describing various feelings; at times, the writing is a bit awkward (perhaps due to translation issues), but no matter—Choi’s illustrations are the star of this book. The colors pop off the pages, perfectly rendering each emotion with a combination of realistic detail and surreal elements. A scene where the young narrator sings the praises of “optimistic orange” depicts a group of balloons floating above a beautifully detailed grayscale city, with the child riding astride the largest balloon, while a fiery red page features the child, eyes narrowed in anger, along with a gorgeous dragonlike creature composed of delicate flames and feathers fanned out in the background.\u003cbr\u003e\nArresting illustrations have a dramatic impact in this meditation on emotions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - - - - - ENTER DETAILS BELOW - - - - - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDetails\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardcover\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 978-1-62354-564-2\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAges: 2–5\u003cbr\u003ePage count: 32\u003cbr\u003e7 x 9\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePublication date: September 9, 2025\u003c\/p\u003e\n[\/TABS]","published_at":"2025-06-16T16:36:13-04:00","created_at":"2025-03-20T12:53:29-04:00","vendor":"Charlesbridge","type":"Children's Book","tags":["Browse by Age_Ages 3-6","Browse by Fiction\/Nonfiction_Fiction","Browse by Format_Picture Book","Browse by Language_English","Browse by Subject_Story Time \u0026 Play"],"price":1699,"price_min":1699,"price_max":1699,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":47873251377389,"title":"Hardcover","option1":"Hardcover","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"45642","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":{"id":43017924706541,"product_id":8957783900397,"position":1,"created_at":"2025-02-28T15:53:11-05:00","updated_at":"2025-02-28T15:53:12-05:00","alt":null,"width":600,"height":771,"src":"\/\/charlesbridgeteen.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/you-are-a-burst-of-color-cover.jpg?v=1740775992","variant_ids":[47873251377389]},"available":true,"name":"You Are a Burst of Color - Hardcover","public_title":"Hardcover","options":["Hardcover"],"price":1699,"weight":567,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_quantity":10,"inventory_management":"shopify","inventory_policy":"continue","barcode":"9781623545642","featured_media":{"alt":null,"id":35223933649133,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.778,"height":771,"width":600,"src":"\/\/charlesbridgeteen.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/you-are-a-burst-of-color-cover.jpg?v=1740775992"}},"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/charlesbridgeteen.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/you-are-a-burst-of-color-cover.jpg?v=1740775992"],"featured_image":"\/\/charlesbridgeteen.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/you-are-a-burst-of-color-cover.jpg?v=1740775992","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":null,"id":35223933649133,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.778,"height":771,"width":600,"src":"\/\/charlesbridgeteen.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/you-are-a-burst-of-color-cover.jpg?v=1740775992"},"aspect_ratio":0.778,"height":771,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/charlesbridgeteen.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/you-are-a-burst-of-color-cover.jpg?v=1740775992","width":600}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - ENTER AUTHOR\/ILLUSTRATOR INFO BELOW - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy: \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/sook-hee-choi\"\u003eSook-Hee Choi\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - ENTER HEADING BELOW - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cb\u003eThese are the colors of you!\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - ENTER DESCRIPTION BELOW - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom morning to night, explore the ever-changing range of colorful emotions of a child.
