The Colors of Life Michelle Merer-Santos

The Colors of Life is written and painted after losing several close friends to cope with the grief. According to a recent reader: "I just read the most amazing book. It's about life and living with the most beautiful illustrations. It is such a timely book, too, given how the pandemic has suddenly changed so many people's lives-and I guess the world, really. This is the kind of book that is deceptively simple and is a fast read but its message stays with you and deepens long after you've put the book down. It has a message of unity and continuity, of the natural order of things-not in a linear order but an organic order that is beyond our senses yet we understand. The images take you on an imaginary journey and bring you back to a new and yet familiar place. The author must be very in tune to have accomplished the hardest feat-to tell a complex and universal story in a simple and accessible way for all to share. It's called "The Colors of Life" and I love it. Thank you."
