Green (picture book)

Green is a children's picture book by American author and artist Laura Vaccaro Seeger. It was first published in 2012 by Roaring Brook Press. The pages illustrate different shades of green in nature, with cut-out shapes linking the different scenes.

Reception
Kirkus Reviews finds Green '...lovely, inventive, engrossing and interactive.' while Publishers Weekly concludes 'Here's hoping subsequent color books from Seeger get the green light.' Janice Harayda finds 'its romanticized green-is-good subtext borders on an environmental cliché.'
