About Author

Robert Bright was born on Cape Cod, Massachusetts in 1902 and passed away in San Francisco in 1988. He spent his childhood in Europe and completed his education at Phillips Academy, Andover, and Princeton University. His vocations included those of newspaper reporter in Baltimore and Paris, art and music critic in Sante Fe, New Mexico, teacher in Boston, and novelist. Believing that "the imaginative child in the imaginative man is fortunately never far away," Mr. Bright has delighted in writing his numerous books for children. Many of these star Georgie, the friendly little ghost who first appeared in 1944 and has been charming young readers on both sides of the Atlantic ever since. From the jacket flap of Georgie

I like red

Robert Bright, Jim Pipe

0.0 (0)

For the carrot tops, this likeable story in red- orange and green with a pat text, is about Janey and how red hair is. Janey tells it herself and the interest mounts as she goes for a visit to a farm and finds increasing numbers of red things around her- apples, a dog, the sun, her friend Tony's hair. Bright's knack with pictures too, has made natural reds humorously prominent here. -Kirkus

This was my mother's favorite book. The story and illustrations are simple yet beautiful. It would be a fabulous book to republish as it was written by popular children's author Marjorie Flack and offers good advice to children and adults alike -- do what comes naturally to you and enjoy life!
