Mixed: A Colorful Story [Chung, Arree, Chung, Arree] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. Mixed: A Colorful Story Review: Mixing Colors - Great book. It was fun and easy to understand. I bought this as a gift for my 1-1/2 year old grandson. I starts with 3 distinct colored dot people. Everyone gets along until Red told everyone that red was the best color. The 3 colors separated and made towns for just their color. Eventually blue and yellow mixed to create green. Everyone was in awe of how cute green was. Soon they all realized they would be happier being friends. It's really cute. Diversity is the theme but there is also a theme of how colors mix and the resulting colors. (I like art so that impressed me.) Review: Must-Have Book for your Library! - Before this book came out, I took a free online seminar on how to write a picture book put on by the author, Arree Chang. At the very end of the live stream, he read his new book that was not on shelves yet, "Mixed." Instantly, I was captivated the book and its bright colors, fun story line, and deep meaning. Three months later, when it was finally out for the public, I bought it. It was even better on paper! The story starts off with three core colors: red, yellow, and blue. In the beginning, all the colors live in perfect harmony until one day when one color thought they were the best. The colors all segregated and fought over who was best color. But one day, a blue and a yellow met and soon became friends. Later the two decided to get marry and "mix." The two have a daughter and her name is Green. She was unlike any color anyone in town had even soon. Shortly after Green arrived, other colors began to mix and more colors were a result of it. The colors were no longer separated and lived together in harmony once again. Chang's use of symbolism is excellent in this text. I brought this book to a 3rd grade teacher I work with and she loved it. She plans on borrowing it during their color unit. I think this book would great in elementary school and possibly even middle school. It could be used to teach about colors like my co-worker is going to do or it could be used to teach symbolism and the relationship the story has to history. I highly suggest checking out this book.

Baby loves it
My baby boy loves this book. Hes loved it since he was a baby. We have 75-100 books on his shelf and he picks this one out every time since he was 12 months old. He’s 17 months now and we wore out the first copy which was a gift at our baby shower so I had to buy him a new one. I think he loves the colors a lot, the first three pages make him smile and he points to the colors and says “ball.” The story is cute, but he loves the pictures. It’s his favorite book.

Great book!
We discovered this book when my daughters attended the author's Creativity Camp on Facebook. The book teaches kids about discrimination, in a way they can understand. Its a simple, yet impactful story that parents can really elaborate on and ask kids questions about. Its a good conversation starter. The illustrations are fun and my kids enjoy reading the book on their own from time to time.

Beautiful and powerful
One of the most powerful stories about life that can be told to a child… opens positive thoughts and understanding about acceptance of others and embraces the beauty of being different-like colors

Beautiful message, great segway into color mixing
Not only does this book have a beautiful message, it’s a great way to help introduce secondary and tertiary colors to kids. I read this book before a color mixing art lesson with a first grade class. Definitely a great one to add to your collection if you’re an art docent or teacher in and elementary school.

Mixed is a fantastic story about accepting others, the power of love, being true to yourself, and, of course, colour mixing! We love this sweet story about a rivalry between the colours red, blue, and yellow, until one day a blue and yellow fall in love, get married, and create a green baby girl! This would be a fun book to use as a part of an art unit on colour mixing!
