Pura Belpré Illustrator Award Honor - American Library Association (ALA)

Bilingual English/Spanish. An instant favorite, this beautiful bilingual board book follows Maya as she discovers all the colors in her world.

Maya longs to find brilliant, beautiful color in her world. But when the wind blows, desert sand covers everything, and turns her whole neighborhood the color of dust.

With the help of a feathered friend, Maya searches high and low to find the colors in her world. And she does-in the vibrant purple of her Mama's flowers, the juicy green of a prickly cactus, the hot pink clouds at sunset, and the shiny black of her Papi's hair.

As they follow Maya's search for all the colors of the rainbow, little readers will be inspired to look around and ask themselves, where can I find the colors in my world?

Written in English and Spanish, this beautiful bilingual board book will be an instant favorite for beginning readers.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"[Gonzalez's] paintings are big and bold, fanciful and exuberant, and should inspire kids to look for the colors in their world, too." -- San Francisco Chronicle Book Review

"The intensely colored paintings [feature] some touches of magical realism. . . this book can jump-start the world of imagination." -- Kirkus Reviews

"The exaggerated facial features of both Maya and her feathered friend capture the contentment they find through enjoying the beauty of their world... Recommended for public libraries and bookstores." -- Críticas

"Gonzalez has created kid-friendly, yet sophisticated compositions." -- Foreword Reviews

"[A] powerful portrayal of a Latino child, her family, and her immediate environment, and an engaging way to introduce young children to basic concepts." -- Multicultural Review

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

As a young person, Maya Christina Gonzalez grew up under the hot pink sunsets of the Mojave Desert. It was in the brilliant hot pinks of the sunset that she finally found her reflection in her environment. At a very young age Maya understood the importance of seeing one's self reflected in one's world. When working with children, she often recalls her favorite page of any book as a child: those empty pages at the back. It was there that she used to draw in her round, Chicana face!

She has now created art for upwards of 20 award-winning, multicultural children's books. The first book she ever wrote, My Colors, My World was given the Pura Belpre Illustrator Honor Award.

What reviews are saying:

Animals of the Iquazu by Francisco Alarcon and illustrated by Maya

"The simple words--often playfully integrated into the illustrations as shaped poems--stress the natural balance of the Iguazú... The multimedia illustrations feature lush, glowing paints that depict the animals (including humans) set against a backdrop of cut-paper strips that comprise the rainforest's verdant growth. Stunning." --Kirkus Starred Review

My Colors, My World by Maya

"The exaggerated facial features of both Maya and her feathered friend capture the contentment they find through enjoying the beauty of their world . . . Recommended for public libraries and bookstores." --Criticas Magazine

I Know the River Loves Me by Maya

"The author's love and respect for the natural beauty and rhythm of the river and how it sustains her through quiet and vibrant moods is vividly portrayed in both her words and paintings. . . Inspiring and peacefully thought-provoking." --Kirkus Reviews

Nana's Big Surprise by Amada Irma Perez and illustrated by Maya

"...fantastically engaging... a treasure hunt for found objects... a wonderful book about the love and support of a family. " --ForeWord

Maya currently plays and plays in San Francisco. She wants to share the important lessons she has learned from her only and deeply loved teacher Creativity. In this spirit she has created a small press to share her lessons to support educators, fellow artists and especially children.

She loves to share her 3 rules:

1. Everyone is an artist.

2. There is never a right or a wrong way to make art.

3. Art is always an act of courage.

I love this book, I bought it because I wanted my daughter to have access to female children characters, I like the storyline, the pictures and the fact that both the English and the Spanish version have great rhythm not just a bad translation of each other. My daughter loves the story and the pictures also, but I mostly read to her in Portuguese.

4.0 out of 5 stars Praise for Colores
Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2015
Mis Colores, Mi Mundo por Maya Christina Gonzalez is a delightful bi-lingual picture book. The artwork is so bold and engaging. Readers learn in Spanish and English the many colors of Maya’s world. Maya is Hispanic (Spanish-speaking) and her home is in a desert that is full of color, nature, flowers and friends for her eyes to see. The reader is introduced to nine of Maya’s favorite colors and how they play an important role in the world. I recommend this to Spanish readers and those learning Spanish. A winner of the Pura Belpre Book Award, this is a great book that’s fun to read.
