Bestselling illustrator Per-Henrik Gürth takes children on a countrywide exploration in brilliant color.

'Maybe Colours' is a meditation on possibilities and was the basis of a course developed in Sweden to support and specifically promote a new EQ curriculum (emotional intelligence) in schools there. It is a meditation on possibilities through the theme of having many sources of the 'same'. Essentially Maybe Colours was written with a view to encouraging tolerance and understanding - the word "maybe" is a "pivot" for perspective-taking, enabling us to consider other possibilities for meanings, concepts and in real-life situations we can find ourselves in. Developing children's abilities to consider alternative perspectives about sources of colour, associations with objects or animals in the world has real-world applications: misunderstandings often occur when we do not consider alternative possibilities of meaning when engaging with other people. The active use of this word may help to prevent such misunderstandings and to encourage open-minded thinking. This book is also considered appropriate for encouraging children to develop present moment awareness through reading. The nature of the book, from the content, illustration and even in considering the layout and size are designed to give children a sense of space for reflection. It was written to provide an opportunity for a dialogue with children about their experience of colour. It also conveys that there are many different sources and shades of the 'same colour', (it's not all black and white) and that every colour has its place and equal significance.

'Sicily Herald and the Blazon of Colours' brings together the original texts with original English translations of two closely related primary sources on Renaissance colour symbolism. 'Le Blason de toutes armes et scutz' (The blazon of all arms and shields) was completed about 1420 by Jean Courtois (c. 1375-1436), the Sicily Herald, and printed in Paris in 1495. The second, 'Le Blason des couleurs en armes, livr es, et devises' (The blazon of colours in arms, liveries and devices), by Gilles Corrozet (1510-68), was published in Paris in 1527 by Pierre Le Brodeur. They were first two books on colour to be printed in Europe, and are now available in English for the first time in five centuries. Roy Osborne is an artist, educator and historian, and author of books on colour. He was awarded the Turner Medal of the Colour Group (Great Britain) in 2003, and the Colour in Art, Design and Environment Medal of the International Colour Association in 2019.
