In this uniquely artistic children's book, author and illustrator Taylor Carlton invites young readers to explore the emotional power of colors, blending rich, bold hues with playful poetry to reflect how we feel and who we are.

Through rhythmic verses, children will discover how each color can represent feelings and moments in their own lives, helping them better understand and express their emotions.

The rich patterns and playful designs invite children to look closely, explore textures, and become immersed in the colorful world of the story.
Perfect for children learning their colors and navigating the world of emotions, If My Life Were A Book is a heartfelt and imaginative resource that helps kids make connections between color, emotion, and identity. Whether it’s the quiet of grey or the joyful burst of green, each page offers new ways for children to explore their feelings and see the world around them with a fresh, colorful perspective.
This book is ideal for children ages birth-9 and is a wonderful tool for parents, teachers, and caregivers to engage with kids in conversations about emotions and self-expression. Get ready to turn the page and step into a world where color is the language of the heart!
