KIDSBOOKS – COLOURS | RAVEN

Brightened by the glimmer of stars
I am the shadowy shade of the night
I am the colour of the mysterious cat
All you can see of her are her eyes

I’m the colour of the scuttling beetle
Of the bear that lives in a cave
I’m the hue of the berries that he eats
I’m like the panther, sleek and brave

I’m the colour of the birds that caw-caw
And watch you with a beady eye
I’m like some of the cars that ply the road
Not red nor blue nor white.

I’m the colour of coffee and chimpanzees
Maybe the colour of your backpack
I’m deep, I’m dark, I have a magical spark
I am the majestic colour BLACK.

KIDSBOOKS – COLOURS | ACORN

Almonds and walnuts, cholocate and ginger
All share the colour that I am
Woodchucks that chuck wood, baskets and bagels
I am the colour of a beaver dam

I am the colour of the moose and the swaying camel
The ruddy duck and the wolverine,
Wood and toast, I am the colour of roast
The garden snail and the centipede

I am the colour of the giant fin whale
And of your sweet little sun-kissed face
I may even be the colour of the desk on which
All your favourite books are placed.

I am the colour of well loved teddy bears
Bearded dragons and kiwi birds
I am all around, from beige to BROWN
I am the beautiful colour of the earth

KIDSBOOKS – COLOURS | GRAPEFRUIT

I am the colour of cherry blossoms 
And of the beautiful magnolia
I’m like the onion, chopping which is no fun
I’m also the sweet flesh of the guava

Himalayan salt and the Pygmy seahorse
Are the colour of your little tongue
Which is the same as the river dolphin
I’m also the colour of bubble gum

I’m the color of lychees and the guppy fish
Turnips and the galah cockatoo
I’m also the colour of some sea anemones
They don’t have brains like me and you!

I’m the colour of ripe raspberries
Of the lotus and the carnation
I’m the hints of health on your little face
I am the delicate colour pink

KIDSBOOKS – COLOURS | ARCTIC

I am the colour of cold winter days
When the snow falls in big flakes
I’m the colour of the graceful swan
The seagull and the beluga whale

I’m also half of a panda’s colours
Of clouds and vanilla ice cream
Persian cats and cauliflowers
And the sweet smelling jasmine

I’m the colour of your pearly teeth
That you brush well twice a day
I’m the colour of rice and milk
And also of the polar bear

I’m the shade of the coat of a billy goat
Of dandelions and ice
I am the dazzle of daytime brightness
I am the gleaming colour WHITE

KIDSBOOKS – COLOURS | PERIWINKLE

I am the colour of the dancing peacock 
And also of the humpback whale
I’m the delicate shade of a robin’s eggs
I am the colour of the racer snake

I’m like the cresting and falling ocean
I’m the shades of a summer sky
I’m the colour of the planet Neptune
As it orbits up on high

I’m the color of your little hands when
They’ve held these Smarties too long
I’m the colour of some millipedes,
Of macaws and the moor frog

The emperor butterfly lifts off
In lovely shades of this hue
The earth itself when seen from afar
Is this incredible colour BLUE.

KIDSBOOKS – COLOURS | STRAW

I am the colour of ripe corn fields 
And of the dancing daffodil
I’m the colour of cheese, if you please
And also of the pineapple

The singing canary is the same shade
As the yolk of your breakfast egg
Which is like the “get set” traffic light
And the marmalade on your bread

I’m the colour of little ducklings
Of vanilla cake and sunflowers
Some butterflies and jelly beans
Of tennis balls and bananas

I’m the colour of the fading bruise
On your knee, as it gently mellows
I’m the gleam in the sunlight healing you
I am the shimmering colour YELLOW.

KIDSBOOKS – COLOURS | CHERRY

I’m the outside arch of the rainbow
And the colour of tropical sunsets,
I’m the colour of sweet scented roses
I’m like the seeds of the pomegranate

I’m the colour of the lovely ladybird
Of lobsters and flamingoes
The colour of rubies and autumn leaves
Of watermelons and tomatoes

I’m the colour of the fiery garnet
And the hue of fresh strawberries
the colour of some skittles and rambutan
And of playfully dancing poppies

I’m the coppery glow of the planet Mars
Shining down from the sky overhead
I’m the colour of your cheeks when you beam with joy
I am the radiant colour RED.

KIDSBOOKS – COLOURS | LEAFY

LISTEN TO THE POEM BEING READ AT: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZSdeUChfe/?k=1
I’m the colour of fresh spring grass 
And the colour of peas in a pod
I’m also what many a parrot looks like
And the colour a grasshopper’s got

I’m the tint on crunchy, young apples
On honeydew, pears and grapes
I’m the colour of the Nile crocodile
and the slith-slithering grass snake

I’m the colour of the beautiful jade stone
And the rustling leaves on trees
Im also the the colour of your lovely face
when you’ve had too much ice cream!

I’m the colour of the deep dark woods,
The loveliest marble you’ve ever seen!
I’m sometimes also called Mother Nature
I am the beautiful colour GREEN
