Lulu's road trip with her father seems dull while they travel through an orange desert. She is alarmed as the car releases gray smoke and her father turns red with frustration as the car overheats. They ask for help from an older women in a house nearby. Lulu watches the woman paint and she explains how the desert is full of color, and how the night changes all the colors. Who is this mysterious woman who knows so much about color?
I enjoyed Cockroft's lesson on color and the tribute to the legendary woman painter Georgia O'Keeffe. Cockroft enchantingly helps us see color in new ways and shows his love of color in his charming storytelling illustrations.
