Edition:
First edition.
Description:
1 volume (unpaged) : color illustrations ; 21 x 26 cm.
Summary:
Rosa, a Korean girl, falls in love with the color blue--the dazzling blue of the sea and sky, and the bold, bright indigo-blue stripe in her traditional hanbok robe. Years later, as an artist living in the United States, Rosa learns the ancient Korean method of
indigo
dyeing, creates
indigo
arts and crafts, and even grows her own
indigo
plants at a Baltimore community garden.
This gorgeous celebration of the color blue and the
indigo
plant, by a Korean American debut artist and storyteller, powerfully connects art and the natural world. With lavish mixed-media art including watercolor painting and hand-dyed textiles, debut author-illustrator Rosa Chang pays tribute to the science and art of growing the
indigo
plant and making
indigo
dye. Woven throughout is a poetic tribute to the color blue, Chang's favorite since her girlhood in Korea, and an appreciation of the
indigo
plant as a valued source of blue dye in cultures around the world. Informative back matter tells more about the science behind
indigo
dye production, with an "
indigo
map" of the shades of blue produced by
indigo
around the world, and simple instructions for growing your own
indigo
plants and making homemade blue dye.
