Beloved picture book creator and four-time Caldecott Honor-winner Leo Lionni's very first story for children, and a New York Times Best Illustrated Book of the Year.

파랑이와 노랑이는 언제나 꼭꼭 붙어 다녀요. 오늘도 파랑이는 노랑이를 찾아갔어요. 그런데 노랑이가 집에 없는 거예요. 파랑이는 노랑이를 찾아 온 동네를 돌아다녔어요. 그런데 길모퉁이를 돌았는데... 노랑이가 있는 거예요! 둘은 너무 기뻐서 꼭꼭 껴안았어요. 그랬더니 그만 초록이가 돼 버렸지 뭐예요! 그럼 노랑이와 파랑이는 어디로 간 걸까요?

Little Blue and Little Yellow are best friends, but one day they can’t find each other. When they finally do, they give each other such a big hug that they turn green! How they find their true colors again concludes a wonderfully satisfying story told with colorful pieces of torn paper and very few words. Leo Lionni launched his children’s book career in 1959 with Little Blue and Little Yellow, and this 50th-anniversary edition, complete with Lionni’s own explanation of how the book came to be, is sure to resonate with children today
