FIRST SATURDAY STORYTIME at Books Inc. Alameda

Join us for FIRST SATURDAY STORYTIME at Books Inc. Alameda – a super fun, in-person event perfect for kids and families!

This month meet Yvonne Pearson reading and signing copies of her new kids book: Rainbow Colors

About the book: What color is cheerful, or calm, or full of mystery?

Rainbow Colors invites young readers to explore the beauty, personality, and emotion of each color—from cardinals and carrots to oceans and amethysts. Children will delight in guessing each hue before it’s revealed, making this an engaging read-aloud that’s perfect for classrooms, storytime, or quiet exploration.

What Makes Rainbow Colors Shine:

• INTERACTIVE & EDUCATIONAL: Combines STEM and SEL learning with a playful guessing-game format that builds color recognition and emotional vocabulary.

• STUNNING DESIGN: Hand-lettered typography and bold, textured illustrations create a strong visual identity that stands out on shelves and gift tables.

• BEAUTY MEETS SUBSTANCE: Goes beyond basic color naming—each page evokes the feeling of a hue, fostering sensory and emotional connections.

• CLASSROOM & GIFT-READY: A joyful, sturdy hardcover that belongs in preschool classrooms, storytime circles, and personal libraries alike.

Whether you're teaching color concepts or sharing a moment of wonder, Rainbow Colors is a vibrant celebration of how we see—and feel—the world around us.
