The Primary Colors: A Children's Picture Book Celebrating the Beauty of Diversity in Our World

Created by Morenike Euba Oyenusi/Paradise Restored Publishing

Pre-order The Primary Colors, a 32-page color picture book for children ages 4-8 which explores the power of friendship, acceptance, and prayer, and the beauty of diversity in our world. You may also choose from associated rewards. In The Primary Colors, Cobalt Blue and his friends, Scarlet Red and Hansa Yellow, live on Primary Close, in a small community of Primary Colors. Everyone is blue, red, or yellow! There are strange rumors of a monster coming to the Primary Color community. When a bizarre family moves in, will Cobalt and his friends accept them? What will they do to fight the monster? Cobalt learns how acceptance and prayer can help his community overcome fear and that diversity enriches our world.

I hope you are enjoying your summer and had a great July 4th! I have thrilling news—we have received the very first printed proof of The Primary Colors! 📦✨

The sample arrived last week, and I couldn’t wait to open it. It’s absolutely beautiful! The 36-page jacketed hardcover has such vibrant colors, and the title shimmers with a UV gloss finish that really makes it pop. I’ve included a short video so you can take a look and share in the exciting moment. 💛💙❤️
