The Black Book of Colors by Menena Cottin and Rosana Faria

This book was one of my favorite books to read. I did not know that a book like this was made and I was very happy to have found one. I really liked the words used to describe color. I hadn't thought about how I would describe color before. I enjoyed the description of the color green, that it looks like new cut grass. That is a smell that is very easy for me to think of, and I thought that it was a fantastic way to tell someone that can't see what green is like. I also liked that it wasn't just black pages, but instead there were some pictures of the page that you could feel. It brought the descriptions to life and made them more understandable and realistic. Definitely a book I would recommend to anyone, it helped me understand how a person might think about the world around them when they rely on senses other than sight.
