Painting the Town is a children's picturebook inspired by the joy of mixing colors to reveal new shades. The whimsical story about a boy and a girl who toss apples of colorful essence and float hanging from ordinary balloons is expressed with enchanting, minimalist-style illustrations. "The wind swept them over a sky filled with colorful fireworks. The boy and girl were very happy to have made New York City a little more colorful." A charming and playful story, meant to instill amazement at experiencing the joy of color.
