Kaleidoscope: Step into a World of Colour

Laura Mucha, illustrated by Nina Chakrabarti

Why does purple mean royalty? Do red sweets really contain beetles? This illustrated guide takes young readers on a tour of colour through science, history and culture, from how our eyes actually see colour to the surprising stories behind every hue.

Packed with surprising facts, quirky questions and eye-opening tales, it will change the way children look at the world around them, because every colour has a story to tell.
