"A Taste of Colored
Water" Synopsis
You could blame Abbey
Finch.
If she hadn't come back from town with tales of a
fountain bubbling forth with "colored" water, LuLu and Jelly would not have
needed to go see for themselves. But it's not Abbey's fault. It's the early
1960s and colored water isn't the fruit-flavored, Technicolor wonder that LuLu
and Jelly are expecting. And having a drink doesn't come without a price.
Celebrated author/illustrator Matt Faulkner
combines colloquial, down-home storytelling and timeless images of pastoral
America to create a thought-provoking account of what happens when the naive and
whimsical imagination of a child is confounded by the reality of intolerance.
