Children's Book Review - The Land of Expression by David and Mulyia Vision

**Spoiler**
The Land of Expression is a children’s book where colors are the characters. The Vision’s bring you the story of Black, who is bullied and shunned by the other colors. When Black becomes sad and despondent from the loneliness, the Creator moves him to the heavens. Soon the other world in which the other colors still inhabit becomes desolate without Black, the colors realize that Black was an important part of their lives can do nothing now but “pray and cry, cry and pray.” Their cries become so loud that Black hears them out in the universe and wants to go back to the world to end their sadness. The Universe doesn’t want to give up Black and the Creator doesn’t want Black to suffer the way he did before. Black becomes so upset with the pain the Colors are suffering that he begins to cry, and his black tears fall to the world making it better. The Creator, seeing this and the change of heart in the colors, allows Black to not only return to the world but to stay in the heavens also. All the colors now can learn to live in harmony.

I give you the whole storyline here because I really don’t think very young children are reading this blog. Plus since this is a children’s book, I don’t think I need to create any suspense. This is a lovely book written by David and Mulyia Vision and illustrated by Ignacio Alcantara. Children will love it for the fun pictures and bright colors throughout. Parents will love it because it teaches a valuable lesson’s. It teaches to believe in yourself, just because we are different doesn’t make us any less valuable or special. It also teaches not to bully those who are different from us because we all have a purpose and something to offer. I would recommend this to any parent raising a child in today’s multi-cultural society. With the holidays just around the corner, it will also make a great gift for any small child this Christmas or any parent-to-be.
