Colorful World

Sparking joy: this book delivers the rainbow-splashed celebration we are all seeking after a year of pandemic fatigue and lockdown blues. It is a return to innocence and having fun. Spectacularly colorful and packed with joie de vivre, this romp through 50 of the most colorful places on earth—from Greece to Japan, Indonesia to Italy—delivers a jolt of optimism and enthusiasm. From the Zhangye Danxia landform in Gansu, China, to the rainbow mountain in the Peruvian Andes, stunning photographs are paired with inspirational quotes from Mikati, whose enthusiasm for travel is intoxi-cating. Driven by her unabashedly optimistic spirit, Mikati has travelled the globe to gather—in her first book—a plethora of visual wonders: ancient monoliths, scenic islands, stunning artwork, electric cityscapes, white-sand seashores, ancient cobbled streets, and both classic and innovative architecture. The infectious, whimsical spirit that carries throughout these pages is reflective of Mikati’s own ultra-upbeat outlook on life.
