THE PICTURE BOOK FOR GROWN-UPS...and kids


A beautifully illustrated and stirring story that reminds us to never lose wonder and gratitude for the simple joys in life.


A touching and timeless story that captures the importance of living in the present.


A joyous young boy lives life with zest and vibrance until he gets older and forgets the simple marvels that make each day special. Artfully written in rhyme and with bold painterly illustrations by Thomas J. Penisten, A Time for Color expertly depicts the magnitude of living life with intention, mindfulness, and gratitude.


In this uplifting and gentle story, a cheerful boy's colors shine bright as he enjoys each day's splendor. His gratitude, curiosity, and joie de vivre was shown through his colors who joined him on every adventure, every exploit, and with each emotion.


"Color awaited me around every turn;

My mind alive, there was so much to learn!

The sounds and smells encompassed my soul.

At the end of each day, my childhood was full.

My color was stunning, it's hard to explain.

A rainbow around me was hard to contain."


His colors were always there for him, awaiting the next day's successes and challenges. But as the years passed and the boy became an older man, his colors were dimming, and he became too busy with responsibilities and commitments to give them a second thought. Before he knows it, his colors become gray and his life, colorless.


When he realizes that vibrance for life is a choice you make, no matter the challenges or troubles life serves up, his colors return and help him appreciate all the small wonders of life around him once again.


With uplifting verse and touching sentiments, A Time for Color weaves a story of hope, courage. Beautifully chromatic, the book is a wonderful reminder for children and adults alike to keep the brightness and spirit in our lives by appreciating all that it has to offer. In the spirit of Shel Silverstein's The Giving Tree, A Time for Color is a classic in the making.
