Helen Borten

Do You See What I See? is a book about lines, shapes, and colors, and the feelings they evoke in the writer. Written in a very lyrical style, the book features attention getting artwork, bright colors, and an imagination triggering narrative.

I almost wish this book was split into two, one for shapes and one for colors, but either way, this is an excellent option when you want to read a book to your kiddo that could lead to conversations on abstract ideas such as “How do different colors make you feel?” or “What does that shape remind you of?”. I feel this book is well-suited for pre-K through 1st grade.

The text and drawings will encourage kids to looks for these line, shape and color combinations within their own world as well as be encouraged to create their own inspired drawings.
