Black and White are so different—how can they ever get along? White wants to explore the world, but Black would rather stay under the bed. Black is playful and creative; White wants everything neat and tidy. But when Black and White work together, they can go on the most amazing adventures . . .
Perfect for teaching colors and opposites, Black and White is an imaginative exploration of the joys of diversity.
