Noted poet Jorge Lujan and South Africa's illustrious illustrator Piet Grobler teamed up to produce this exquisite celebration of color. As day turns into night, we are given fleeting, evocative glimpses of the qualities inherent in a range of colors. An antelope and some children are pictured inhabiting this delicate world. This bilingual, bicultural book presents us with a beautiful vision of a planet in which nature, words, and the rising and setting of the sun and the moon exist in harmony.

Un libro po tico para pensar el espacio geom trico y para ejercitar los sentidos. Una ni a y un ni o juegan en el Parque de las Formas. Se zambullen en el c rculo, retan al viento en la pista del valo, prueban la miel del hex gono... Sienten las formas hasta que las reconocen por las canciones que el viento toca en ellas.
