description: The colors of Hispaniola burst into life in this striking evocative debut picture book that celebrates the joy of being Dominican.If Dominican were a color it would be the sunset in the sky blazing red and burning bright.If Dominican were a color itd be the roar of the ocean in the deep of the nightWith the moon beaming down rays of sheer delight.The palette of the Dominican Republic is exuberant and unlimited. Maiz comes up amarillo  the blue-black of dreams washes over sandy shores and peoples skin can be the shade of cinnamon in cocoa or of mahogany. This exuberantly colorful softly rhyming picture book is a gentle reminder that a nations hues are as wide as nature itself.
