Book cover shows an illustration of a boy holding a watering can and a girl holding a basket reach up toward a corn stalk. Text reads, “Green is a Chile Pepper. A Book of Colors.”

Viewers will discover the world of colors through the images of Latino culture. For example, red is spices and swirling skirts, while yellow is masa and sweet corn cake. Many of the featured objects are Latino in origin, and all are universal in appeal. Based on the children's book by Roseanne Greenfield Thong and presented in American Sign Language (ASL) by the Arizona State Schools for the Deaf and Blind Deaf Mentor Program.
