The Allgreens see everything in green: the grass, the houses... even the sky!
“You take me for a complete greenhorn,” you say to yourself, but ask any Allgreen and they will explain to you self-importantly:
“It is as elementary as a green bean: the entire universe is green.”
“What greeneriety,” another will gasp, “degreenlightful!”
The Allgreens is a book for explorers who never stop having colorful dreams.
An original and funny book, with a nice contrast between the clean, modern illustrations and the melodic-poetic text, rich in puns and jokes.
The amazing green creatures with a square shape and expressive expressions have names like Parsnip, Lettuce, Moss, Euglena... The pages, which go from monochrome to more and more colorful, are full of finds and smiles.
They tell about diversity, about the breadth of the worldview, about the ability to live together despite differences. They remind us of the dream of a meeting with unprecedented colors, wonderful friends, exciting ideas... with a new world more colorful, bold and inspired.
