Astonishing artwork throughout the book and lovely message. This book should grace every library and is highly recommended for children. As an adult reader I was moved by the intricate illustrations and the gravity of their meaning.

This book maybe one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. I literally want to take every single picture and frame them and hang them on my wall. It amazes me the artist's capabilities to express the emotion that's happening in the faces of these characters that are somehow us and not us all at the same time. It is extremely hard for me to pick what is better in this book between the art and the writing. They meld together perfectly, this book is so meaningful. I also feel like for the most part, It can be meaningful for a child and for and adult. (And everything in between) It's rare for a book to span the ages of appreciation like that. I actually teared up all the way through this book because it rings so true in a beautiful way that highlights both the beauty and the pain of life. From the minute I opened up to the first page, I knew how special it was. And that is saying a lot because the file had downloaded incorrectly the first time and literally all of the pages have been cut and half and scattered throughout the book. But with little information I still knew. Once I got it to download correctly, Halfway through the book I was already thinking about all the people I wanted to purchase this book for. How meaningful it is. How true. How truly special. It does not matter who you are, this book will strike a chord. I can promise you that. There is no doubt whatsoever that I will buy many copies of this book for myself and others. But I'm getting the first one. 🤣

Thank you #netgalley for allowing me the chance to read this absolutely stunning work of art. It could not have possibly been better than it is. I have a new favorite artist.

WOW

The art in this was so beautiful. Like every single page was something else, never failed!!!

The words were so simple but still very effective. There were times when I would reflect and just think "yup :)" and other times I would think "yup :'(" (if you know what I mean??)

I definitely wan to buy a hard copy of this because it was both aesthetically pleasing but also it made me reflect a lot on life in general.

Wow! Just a beautiful book! Beautifully illustrated by Lisa Aisato! I am buying one ASAP! Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to review and thank you Lisa Aisato for this wonderful gift!

Aesthetically pleasing with vivid imagery that is accompanied by absolute truths of the wonders of life.

I had the pleasure of receiving an advanced physical copy of this book. To say I was stunned by the beauty is an understatement. My 8 year old and I read this together.

Take in the vibrant colors and incredibly soul pulling illustrations while wiping your tears produced from the beautiful words. You can feel the ups and downs of life as though strings being thrummed.

Not a book to shelve but kept on the “coffee table” for all who visit!

Thank you to Arctis Books for the beautiful review copy.

It's a beautiful book. Entire life presented through paintings, from the very beginning to the very end. A painting for every possible stage of one's life, and those paintings were so mesmerizing, the uniqueness, blend of colors, were so interesting to witness.

Highly recommended to anyone who loves paintings.

All the Colors of Life is a stunningly beautiful book of art portraying the stages of life from childhood to adolescence and to old age. Each piece of art is accompanied by a line or two of text on the opposite page and reads poetically.
The art in this book is absolutely amazing and so very relatable. I definitely recommend this book to all - there's something in it for everyone growing older in life.

OMG, how wonderful this book is! The human life in various seasons of life, illustrated with beaitiful watercolor paintings, describing the joys and sorrows the human experiences during the lifetime. Moving, funny, grotesque, absolutely fascinating, highly recommended.

This is an adult picture book with illustrations and short poems by Lisa Aisato. After a few pages, the reader will notice that the earlier pages are about the experiences of being a child, and then subsequent pages show the consecutive stages of human life. The lighter colors and whimsy of the childhood illustrations are gradually replaced by deeper and darker artwork and poetry as the book moves forward. I didn't love every illustration or poem (didn't grasp the artist's/poet's meaning) but with over 100 pages, there's a lot to love and this book would make a wonderful gift for the right recipient.

All the colours of life, the book justifies the title and we get to see all the stages of life in beautiful illustration.

It feels like life has been artistically spilled on the pages and words have capture human emotions so well. I was amazed by the beauty and detailing throughout the book. I'm definitely a fan of Lisa Aisato.

I wouldn't set an age bar for readers here, everyone can enjoy the content of All the colours of life. It's a must have!

Oh man. Oh man, this made me cry. I was not expecting this book at all. I picked it because the cover was really pretty. I was not anticipating the FEELS. It’s a long form illustrated book that contemplates the long winding road of life. That’s the best way I can describe it. Just give it a chance. Seriously. You won’t regret it.

When I chose this, I didn’t quite know what to expect. But this adorable book won my heart right away. It is like a picture book for adults about life from our childhood to old age. It leads us through the most common struggles and joys in life. The focus in this book is on illustrations that are breathtaking but also funny and touching at the same time.

Thanks to the Arctis Books for the ARC and the opportunity to read this! All opinions are my own.

This is lovely book with wonderful . poetry and fantastic art. I really enjoyed reading it and will definitely be going back to this book again.

And just like that, Lisa Aisato has become one of my favourite artists. You know the saying - a picture paints a thousand words? Well, Ms Aisato's paintings do just that! She has such a gift of presenting expressive and meaningful paintings that they do not even need words to make a story. I am in awe of her imagination, creativity and talent, and went to follow her social media account right away!

This, then, makes for a wonderful picture book for adults where only a few words are needed. The words are thought provoking and will stir up your memories. There are pages that are not suitable for little eyes, Also, a few pages featuring lifestyles that not everyone would support.

I will be looking out for more books by this artist!

The art in this book was gorgeous, and I enjoyed it so much that I immediately went back and reread it.

I want to buy this book for every person in my life because this is the kind of thing that would be great to pick up when you're having a bad day or when you doubt yourself.

All The Colors of Life by Lisa Aisato is picture book about different stages of life. The book is divided into different sections that are based on the various stages of life from childhood to old age. Furthermore, these pictures are accompanied with minimalistic verses, which complement the vibrant pictures. In this book, I liked the variety of colors, the visual symbolisms, and the minimalistic verse.

The variety of colors appealed to me because they were pleasing to the eye and relatable to my soul. In the section that was based on childhood, the colors that are used emphasize the innocence and the never-ending expanse of children's imagination, which accentuate the beauty of the early years of a person. I interpreted it this way because I feel that many of us underappreciate the carefree nature of one's childhood years and this book evoked those beautiful memories. In contrast, the colors used in the illustrations of the later stages of life are darker perfectly depicted the various struggles of life that people face as they grow older. For example, there is one illustration that shows a shadow shaped as large and intimidating monster that juxtaposes with the tiny shadow of a man. The use of shadows implies the anxieties and worries that disturb people in their everyday lives. For this reason, the variety of colors used in the illustrations of this book accentuated their aesthetic value and insinuated feelings that the reader can relate to.

Other than the colors, I found that there were many pictures that included unique symbolisms that alluded to the many truths of life. For example, there was a picture of teenager wearing a protective costume of sorts that had many forbidding signs such as the 'no smoking sign' and an adult was shown putting these on. It depicted how teenagers can be restricted and sheltered a lot, which can inhibit their personal growth, therefore it probably encourages adults give space to young adults. Another picture was of a couple on a swing with one person cutting the swing into two pieces with a saw, which embodied an end to the couple's relationship. Personally, I felt that this picture perfectly depicted the brutality of separating from a person because of the psychological pain it can cause. There are many more pictures like these, but I just mention two because these were two of the many that stood out to me and helped me realize how a picture can say a thousand words. Also, these symbolisms helped me realize the potential of visual art; I thought that only words can be twisted in different ways, but Aisato's art proves me wrong.

Aisato couples these awe-inspiring and moving illustrations with lines of verse that complement her art beautifully. I liked the fact that there was just a line accompanying almost every picture because it keeps the verse minimalistic to an extent that it hints at the theme of the picture to invoke never-ending possibilities of meanings, instead of saying everything through words. The verse allows the pictures to speak for themselves and say more than words can every say, which I think is the beauty of minimalistic verse.

From the brilliant use of colors to the deep-cutting symbolisms to the simplistic verse, All The Colors of Life By Lisa Aisato is a beautiful embodiment of a human's life.

I love this book. The artwork is just mind blowing. Lisa Aisato is so talented. She makes art that represents all kinds of people in different stages of life. She makes art of life. And every piece is so emotional. You can’t look at one of her artwork and not feel what she wanted to express. I think this book is a perfect gift for both young and old.

I received an arc from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. I have read the book in both English and Swedish. The language doesn’t matter, the art transcends.

This book is beautiful. The illustrations are very well done. It's sort of a picture book for adults. Young adults might enjoy it too, but I think adults will be better able to relate to the later parts of the book. I enjoyed reading this book.

I recieved an ARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This is a really beautiful book. It's like a picture book for adults, a super quick read with meaningful, highly illustrated poetry throughout. It's quite different to a 'normal adult book with just a line or so on each page, mainly focussing on the beautiful illustrations.

It begins with childhood and works its way through the ups and downs of life. Each picture tells its own beautiful story.

Would make an ideal gift or coffee table book that you could leave open at any of the stunning pages.

All the Colors of Life is an illustrated poetry by Lisa Aisato. It’s an extremely quick read but if you have an appreciation for deeply meaningful illustrations about life, then you might spend more time with the book. The book starts with childhood and slowly moves through all the blisses and sorrows and the ups and downs of every phase of life. The illustrations are magical and the poetry is simple, meaningful, relatable, and deep.



Another great thing is the inclusivity the book includes both in the art and the words. Everyone, Irregardless of their age, would be able to find themselves and their life beautifully expressed in the pages of this book.



I am glad I chose to read this book.

Absolutely gorgeous art and beautiful prose. This is the perfect picture book for adults! This would be a perfect gift for a family member or friend.

Where to start. Unbelievable collection of pictures that cover the whole spectrum of human emotions.
The stunning artwork reminded me so much of the Pink Floyd videos of the late '70s and early '80s.
Talking of videos, you can glimpse this book in a video on youtube.
The pictures capture human strengths, weaknesses and traits.
There are colourful, vibrant and vivid pictures, along with dark and atmospheric scenes. A subtle blend of happiness and sadness.
The pictures of old age were particularly poignant for me as I begin to enter that age bracket.
Things tend to resonate with you as you stare at the beautiful artwork and think back on life.
This is a book you should definitely read.

A picture book for adults with glorious illustrations illuminating the stages of our lives from childhood, teen years, adulthood and senior year. Minimal yet salient & eloquent text accompanies tje illustrations. Just beautiful.
