    “A cute story that teaches the colors of the rainbow” from the author of Mermaids on Mars and Circus in the Sky (The Naptime Reviewer).  Roy G. Biv Is Mad at Me Because I Love Pink! is an educational and playful story about learning of the colors of the rainbow. Roy G. Biv is an acronym for the sequence of the hues in the rainbow: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet.   “Singer-songwriter and children’s book author Nancy Guettier finds inspiration in each of her kids to write entertaining children’s stories. Guettier’s style is whimsical and fun, making learning effortless . . . Roy G. Biv Is Mad at Me Because I Love Pink! is centered around Genevieve who loves splashing in puddles after a rain shower. Mostly, Genevieve loves pink; however, pink is not a color in the rainbow. Understandably that upsets Roy G. Biv, who convinces her to experience all the colors of the rainbow.” —MySocialGoodNews.com   “Your children will dive in to Genevieve’s adventure with Roy G. Biv, as he tries to show her that pink is a fine color but she should try other ones as well. Your toddler will learn so much about colors and will be able to associate them with colorful objects they may encounter in their everyday routine.” —TheBabySpot.ca

    Following the turn of the seasons, eleven-year-old Eldon traces the daily routines of his life on a farm and his relationship with his older brother Wayne. During the winter, with little work to be done on the farm, Eldon and Wayne spend the quiet hours with their family, listening to their Uncle David’s stories. But Eldon soon learns that, although he has lived on the same farm, in the same house with his uncle for eleven springs, summers, and winters, he hardly knows him. 
     
    “It is the palpable awareness of place and character that is unforgettable. Paulsen, with a simple intensity, brings to consciousness the texture, the smells, the light and shadows of each distinct season. He has penned a mood poem in prose.” —School Library Journal 
     
    “More a prose poem than a novel, this beautifully written evocation of a Minnesota farm perhaps 40 years ago consists of portraits of each of the four seasons, along with four brief stories told by old Uncle David.” —Kirkus Reviews
