Book Cover & Preview Text
As the children imagined something fun and new, they came up with a plan. "Let's go to the attic, perhaps we'll find some old clothes for a woman or a man."
Step by step they climbed each stair, hoping to find something rare. Reaching the top, the door creaked and squeaked. Cobwebs covered their hands and feet.
"I see something huge over there" whispered James. "Come on," ordered Joya, "Stop playing silly games."

About the Book
The Sound of Color was created while the author, Andrea Parris, was studying music and art for early childhood and education. “I believe it is very important to make reading material available in a variety of styles for young readers. I also believe it is equally important that the material is applicable to children of every race, creed and color.”
- Andrea Parris
The Sound of Color has an educational component that pertains to color and music fundamentals. It also stirs the imagination of its readers as they enter a fictional world without these creative outlets. Children worldwide will enjoy this short story’s captivating tale.
