I am not ready. The new school looks like a normal building, but I can't do it. The darkness builds inside me and I want to run. School just doesn't work for me. I touch my face and feel the cuts and bruises. I know I will get so many questions about it. Looking at the school, I can't help but think of the fake-nice teachers looking down at me. I picture the angry and disappointing eyes. He is right, I am worthless and will be kicked out by lunch. Dorothy said I will have a good day, but can I? Am I strong enough? I take in a breath to calm my tummy. Maybe I can do this. I can feel Teddy in my backpack and take my first step toward the new school year. Maybe I can be strong. Or can I?

'Extraordinary. An intellectual feast as well as a visual one' Edmund de Waal, author of The Hare with Amber Eyes The world comes to us in colour. But colour lives as much in our imaginations as it does in our surroundings, as this scintillating book reveals. Each chapter immerses the reader in a single colour, drawing together stories from the histories of art and humanity to illuminate the meanings it has been given over the eras and around the globe. Showing how artists, scientists, writers, philosophers, explorers and inventors have both shaped and been shaped by these wonderfully myriad meanings, James Fox reveals how, through colour, we can better understand their cultures, as well as our own. Each colour offers a fresh perspective on a different epoch, and together they form a vivid, exhilarating history of the world. 'We have projected our hopes, anxieties and obsessions onto colour for thousands of years,' Fox writes. 'The history of colour, therefore, is also a history of humanity.'
