Paint Me!
Red, blue, and yellow are just the tip of the iceberg when you have a good imagination. In this colorfully illustrated story, a young girl makes her way through the day—first painting a portrait of her dog, and then painting anything and everything she can find. With a simple, affectionate plot that teaches colors and embraces the “creative process” for many kids, Paint Me! offers a message of love and discovery.
Featuring a heartwarming story and simple yet striking illustrations from author and illustrator Sarah Frances Hardy, Paint Me! encourages children to explore their creativity and express themselves while learning their primary and secondary colors. For parents who remember reading Harold and the Purple Crayon when they were young, or for those who love more recent books about art such as Beautiful Oops!, this is one sweet story you won’t want to have missing from your library.

Simple & sweet
Paint Me! Is a simple but sweet book of a young girl and her dog painting. It goes thru different primary colors by name with a focus on that color on the picture on the page. It would be good to help teach the basic colors to a young child with the couple words per page. We end up seeing how all of the little girl's artwork and spilled paints create quite a mess in the house and on her that has to be cleaned up with the help of her mom before her bedtime.

Ever watch a child cover themselves in paint rather than that handy piece of paper hanging on the easel? PAINT ME! celebrates exactly that simple childhood joy. Although this book could have easily been illustrated with pictures of my daughter, Hardy's playful, vibrant illustrations perfectly capture the childlike creativity and imagination that every painting experience should possess. What do you think will happen when the little girl's mommy finds her daughter's creation?
