A very curious star wants to know what the sun is like. When the moon calls the stars to go to bed, she hides under a cloud and waits. Little by little the sun comes out and a world of colourful things appears. The star loves what she sees and every time she discovers a new colour she sings a magic song because she wants to become coloured. Nothing seems to change, but in the end the star gets a great surprise.

The Dome of Many Coloured Glass
The Dome of Many Coloured Glass contains sonnets and lyrics, chiefly reflective and contemplative, somewhat remote and approaching a tonal twilight, but rhythmic in quality.
Amy Lowell (1874—1925) entitled her first book of poems A Dome of Many- Coloured Glass (1912), a phrase taken from Adonais, Shelley's elegy for Keats. Heavily influenced by Keats's poetry (whose biography Lowell was to write late)
The second book in the Miss Bea series features this playful little girl and her friends finding different coloured objects to play with, like a blue umbrella and a pink feather duster. This Miss Bea story, told with illustrations and photographs, will appeal to children aged 1 to 4 years, with knitting patterns for the garments at the back of the publication. All designs in "Miss Bea's Colours" use knit and purl stitches, written with beginners in mind they are all single coloured.
