Only children's books with humans have moral impact, study finds

“This beautiful box is brimming with gorgeous Pantone colors and surprises. With a volume for each color of the rainbow: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple these six chunky board books feature simple peek-through cutouts that transform as you turn the pages. Simple text prompts parents and children to label objects and observe lighter and darker shades of the same color family, promoting a new way of noticing the colorful and surprising world around us.“
