Color Friends

The Color Friends Meet Someone New

Written and Illustrated by Laurie Hartsook

These two colorful children’s books were written to appeal to the imagination of children aged 2-8. However anyone with a love for art and creativity will appreciate their unique style and inclusive message. 

“Color Friends” invites one on a journey where colors talk and mix to create a unique form out of pure color. Discover the power of color through poetic prose and art in movement. This book was inspired by a special student named Ruby who enjoyed painting and playing with color. This book is currently out of print but I have a few copies to sell. Please email me for details.

“The Color Friends Meet Someone New” book 2 was born out of the impulse to discover a new way to see brown. “Brown is made from all of us mixed together. We must be kind to her,” says Green. Messages in the book include art appreciation, botany and nature, inclusivity, friendship and diversity. 

I hope to inspire art creations in the hands of both young and old alike. There is nothing like mixing paint together to make unique shades of purple or orange or green. For the young child it may be satisfying to just make brown!
