I Don’t Draw, I Color!

Written by Adam Lehrhaupt
Illustrated by Felicita Sala

Drawing isn’t the only way to make art. A young artist explores how colors and lines can express feelings—from happy yellow to quiet blue, from bold red to a whole jumble of emotions. Adam Lehrhaupt’s playful text and Felicita Sala’s lively illustrations invite readers to experiment, express themselves, and discover what colors they are.
