Green is a chile pepper, spicy and hot. Green is cilantro inside our pot.
In this lively concept book, children discover a rainbow of colors in the world around them: Red is spices and swirling skirts, yellow is masa, tortillas, and sweet corn cake. Many of the featured objects are Hispanic in origin, but all are universal in appeal. With rich, exuberant illustrations, a fun-to-read rhyming text, and an informative glossary, this colorful book will brighten every child's day!
