Lionni's first picture book is now available in board-book format. The transfer is effortless; no pages or text are missing, nothing is cropped or cut off. Illustrated with bright colors and simple geometric shapes, Lionni's minimalist story about the friendship between two different colored dots will appeal to the intended audience of very young children, fifty years after its original publication.

Beloved picture book creator and four-time Caldecott Honor-winner Leo Lionni's very first story for children, and a New York Times Best Illustrated Book of the Year.

Little Blue and Little Yellow are best friends, but one day they can’t find each other. When they finally do, they give each other such a big hug that they turn green! How they find their true colors again concludes a wonderfully satisfying story told with colorful pieces of torn paper and very few words. Leo Lionni launched his children’s book career in 1959 with Little Blue and Little Yellow, and this 50th-anniversary edition, complete with Lionni’s own explanation of how the book came to be, is sure to resonate with children today.
