About this item

Dark Red,Light Red,Lost red,Bright red.In this simple, sumptuously illustrated companion to the Caldecott Honor Book Green and the highly acclaimed Blue, award-winning artist Laura Vaccaro Seeger once again turns her attention to the ways in which color evokes emotion, in this case, anger, fear, hostility, and ultimately love in a story of a fox trying to return to its family. Lost and alone, he makes his way through a dark forest, injures his paw, has glancing encounters with humans, and finds himself trapped in a cage, before an act of kindness returns him to the wilderness.
