The picture book My Color was written by the Dutch picture book master Leo Leoni. Although he began to create picture books at the age of 49, he was the winner of four Kadik prizes. His picture books are very artistic and are known as "color magicians".
At first glance, the ring lining is just some messy color blocks and English. However, if we look at it carefully from many angles, we can find that the colored blocks on the ring lining are composed of countless chameleons, and the round eyes of several striking chameleons can be clearly seen in the middle; And the English of those people is the author's signature on the chameleon ((Leo Lionni)). The theme and characteristics of this book can also be highlighted from the ring lining.
There are four chameleons of different colors on the title page. There are green, pink, blue and red, which actually leads to the main content of the picture book.
As the picture book says: "Every animal has its own color", but the chameleon doesn't, and the color will change wherever it goes. So the chameleon was very uneasy and lonely. It began to doubt itself, even the meaning of its existence.
Chameleons are always changing. It doesn't know what color it belongs to. It also wants to keep a color and let it represent itself. So it began to think: if I stay on the leaves all the time, I will always be green, and then I will have my own color. But it never occurred to me ...
When he was sad, another chameleon appeared, and his words completely activated the chameleon's heart that was about to give up. Everyone's existence is a unique color. We can change the color of our bodies together, so that we will always be inseparable friends! Don't care about external changes, only we are perfect!
The color of the whole picture book is bright and bright, which can easily arouse children's interest in reading. A chameleon that constantly changes its body color will not only make children feel good, but also know the characteristics of the chameleon.
1 to enhance children's awareness of color. There are rich colors in picture books, such as green, purple, blue, gray, pink, red, orange and so on. Let children better understand the subtle differences between colors and distinguish them, and enhance their cognition of colors in the process of reading picture books.
2. Improve self-awareness. Children will have self-awareness and say "I" when they are about 2 years old, but for me, their sense of existence is not strong, and this book only indirectly tells children that everyone is special and has a unique color. We don't need to always pursue the same as others, don't need to go with the flow, and don't need to worry. As long as we find like-minded friends in life, we will live a full and happy life! This is also to help children know themselves correctly and live the truest self!
