Katy Rose Likes to Say No is about a child, like most, who is just learning to assert her independence and discovering her power over others, simply by saying “no.” She learns, however, that defying her parents and being rude to her friend only make herself feel bad. Katy Rose eventually discovers that cooperation and kindness make others happy and that they, in turn are more nurturing toward her. This book is for every parent who, while realizing the importance of this developmental stage, suffers the exasperation of constantly hearing “no.”The illustrations are cut-paper art, or collage, and all images were created by rearranging the same 127 randomly cut pieces of construction paper. At the end of the book are instructions on how to create such art projects with your child.

Review

5 Stars: "Delin Colón's innovative children's book, entitled Katy Rose Likes to Say NO!, is a must-have for all parents. It is no secret there are many children's books from which to choose; however, this one is truly unique and invaluable - a great resource for parents!" - Deborah Lloyd for Readers' Favorite

From the Author

A Word To Parents
It is perfectly normal for small children to go through a "no" phase. It is how they begin to assert their independence and influence over those around them. As relatively powerless beings subject to adult authority, saying "no" is often their first taste of power. This book attempts to teach children that such negative power, directed at friends and family, can have unhappy results leading to bad feelings all around, and that cooperation and positivity can foster bonding with and nurturing from others.
 
The Illustrations
 
The illustrations are cut-paper art. It is a technique I learned in the mid 1950s when I was seven years old, growing up in Roosevelt, NJ. I was at a friend's house when a neighbor popped in ... a teenager named Susie Shahn, daughter of artist Ben Shahn. She sat down on the floor with us kids, cut many pieces of construction paper into random shapes, and had us arrange the pieces into images on blank pages. I've loved doing it ever since. At the end of the book are instructions for you and your child to make your own such creations.

Children Say NO!
Having read Delin Colón’s Rasputin and the Jews: A Reversal of History, I was pleasantly surprised when she gave me a copy of her latest book, a children’s book called Katy Rose Likes to Say NO! Colon, a clinical psychologist, has done a wonderful job at capturing the essence of a two year old who asserts its independence by saying, screaming the word NO whenever it is asked or told do something. A parent who reads this little book to their child will be teaching a value lesson in how one should behave. Even though there is a lesson in values, the book does not moralize, making it a useful tool for different belief systems. An extra bonus is the cut-out-paper art work that graces the book. Colón, who is also the illustrator, explains how it is done, thus providing a hands on project for parents and child to do together.

5.0 out of 5 stars The NO! stage

I loved this little gem of a book. The combination of words and illustrations captures a 2 year old completely. The cut-out illustrations are brilliant! A book for any and every child. And what a perfect opportunity to include reading time with arts and crafts. I've also read her Rasputin and the Jews: A Reversal of History, which is a fascinating read. In Katy Rose Likes To Say No! we see her create a book for a 2 year old, which she does exquisitely. Delin Colon is quite a talent.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great attitude-changer for young ones
Reviewed in the United States on December 22, 2016

In my past experience as a preschool teacher and Mom, I can vouch for the frustration of dealing with young ones who learn the word "No!" and the power that it wields. This is an insightful book which illustrates to children how their attitude can affect others, and the positive power of saying "Yes" instead, without talking down to the child. I certainly recommend it!

Ah! The No word. Once they discover it, there's no looking back. I've given this book as a gift to several moms and they adore it. What a fun read. The first book in what is to be a series, I believe. Check it out!

Reviewed in the United States on May 30, 2016
Katy Rose is smart and can create art, spell and know her numbers. But, her favorite word is no. She doesn’t want to go anywhere or do anything. This makes her parents very sad. When Sarah comes over to play, Katy says no and hurts Sarah’s feelings. How will Katy ever save her friendship with Sarah?

Parents will love this quick read with a message. Simple rhythmic sentences are easy for beginners. Young readers will find a cut-paper project in the back of the book. This would be an excellent guide and discussion project for any classroom.

5.0 out of 5 stars Katy Rose Likes to Say NO!
Reviewed in the United States on March 6, 2016
Katy Rose Likes to Say NO! is a darling rhyming tale about a little girl who's favorite word is no.

Katy Rose doesn't realize how much her word choice hurts the ones she loves until she almost loses her friend. Can Katy Rose expand her vocabulary with new words that will bring joy to those around her before she hurts anyone else?

As a mother of four I have certainly heard my share of "no's" and can certainly identify with Katy Rose's parents. I know toddlers like to express their independence and this story is a great example of that. The author also does a wonderful job of teaching children what can happen with they choose to use positive words and do as their parents ask.

The illustrations are original and engaging. The fact that they are created from the same randomly cut 127 pieces of construction paper absolutely amazes me. I found myself trying to figure out where each piece from the previous illustration was used in the next.

Katy Rose Likes to Say NO! is a sweet and beautifully illustrated tale that both parents and children will enjoy.

I recommend picking up a copy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Clever, Expressive Illustrations With Rhyming Text Perfect for Read Alouds
Reviewed in the United States on June 7, 2016
This small book provides much-needed teachable moments for the child who says "No!" The lay-out and presentation is simple, with just the right balance of text on the page. The story is told through rhyming lines, so this is an excellent book for a read-aloud to even the youngest of listeners.

The illustrations -- all created from the same set of 127 randomly cut paper scraps rearranged to make each new picture -- are clever and amazingly expressive. The art will likely inspire kids (and parents) to get creative and make their own scrap-art illustrations while having great conversations about alternatives to always saying "No!" Fortunately, the author has included instructions at the conclusion of the story so that parents and kids can do their own fun cut-paper art activity together.

I recommend this book for preschoolers up through kindergartners. Thank you to the author for providing me a print copy in exchange for my honest review -- the only kind I give. If you like this review, visit my blog Hall Ways for book views, reviews, and news you can use - or not. [...]
