Colors of Mexico by Lynn Ainsworth Olawsky, Janice
Lee Porter (Illustrator)
Ten colors are presented in double-page spreads, with 4-to-10 sentences
that describe an aspect of Mexico that relates to that color. For example,
white is for the skeletons of the Day of the Dead; green for
Mayan jade jewelry; and orange for the monarch butterflies that winter
in the Sierra Madres. Large, cheery oil paintings done in bright hues
and with bold strokes reflect the countryside and various aspects of
Mexican culture. This book is useful as a visual introduction to a study
on Mexico.
