Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inspired by the question of her cartwheeling five-year-old niece, "Emmy, What Color is Goodness?," this poem was written to help readers find goodness in the most unexpected places. The poem does exactly this by exploring the universality of goodness. It does not look like one color, size, or shape and the subtleties and nuances, beauty and undersides are always waiting to be uncovered. Goodness is found in all of us, and it is up to each of us to search for and bring about goodness and to recognize it when we see it in the world. Emily Morrison offers a vision of kindness, acceptance and understanding for our unsettling times within this beautiful book of poetry, featuring the delightful illustrations of accomplished artist Pam McDonnell. The book is a discovery of the infinite colors of goodness and all of the places where it can be found. In its exploration, the tale takes the reader through all the colors of the rainbow, delving inside brown boxes and ribboned packages, in dark grey spaces and even deep inside all of us. Goodness is found while dancing wildly, singing joyfully and in quiet spaces with almost no color. Morrison was raised on the works of Shel Silverstein and Dr. Suess, the beauty and humor found in the interplay of their clever images and words that had a lasting impact on her imagination. Morrison hopes to transport readers to a world where poetry tells a powerful story to which all readers relate. She believes lyrical poetry has the power to inspire emotions that can create change. What Color is Goodness ? explores friendships, vulnerability, mindfulness, gratitude, acceptance and community, lessons that connect all generations.
