The one thing that Monica loves the most is painting. She has painted many things but not a kiss. Monica begins to wonder what color is a kiss?

A super sweet book that also helps children with colors. Lovely illustrations as well.

This is a sweet, beautifully, colorfully illustrated picture book about a little girl pondering the color of a kiss, as she knows what colors belong to all other things. She knows that veggies are green, she knows that water is blue, and that night time monsters are black, but she can't figure out what color best works for kisses. She decides they are all colors.

Great book to teach about colors, but kids can have fun just reading it for all the beautiful pictures.

Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.

I love the illustrations and layout of this book. The spunky main character teaches colors in a fun way.

I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS BOOK! It has cuteness, anticipation, non-traditionalism and humor...I mean I cracked up when we got to brown. This would be a great addition to any library, school or home. Did I say again that I loved this?? Best of all is that the children can give their own ideas on what color they think a kiss is...even turn it into an art lesson! LOVE!

A child who likes to paint wants to paint a kiss, but she isn't sure what color to use. Monica likes lots of different colors, but then she remembers things she doesn't like about each one. It will be good to discuss with children what they do and don't like along with each color Monica picks out. And then at the end, we find out that a kiss is ALL THE COLORS, so it has a cute ending.

Note: I received a free copy of this book from NetGalley. I was not compensated in any other fashion for the review and the opinions reflected below are entirely my own. Special thanks to the publisher and author for providing the copy.

Monica loves to paint! As she tries to figure out what color to paint a kiss, we see her adorable watercolor illustrations. I think the book is good for art teachers as well as just a sweet book in general. I received this book free to review from Netgalley. It is beautiful and inspiring and I highly recommend it.

Cute, good for colours, and defies traditional gender roles, which is always a bonus. Limited text. I also like the first page, where she says that she likes to water the plants on the balcony and tell them kind things to help them grow. Makes me think that this author could write more of a book than this.
