In the muted, closed-in atmosphere, the bullies are shown as mainly elongated figures in shades of brown, while the brightest spots are the boys’ bright shirts and yellow goggles. Ezra uses a little collage, but mostly paints in a graphic, expressive style with a broad but subtle color palette. Goggles is 1969 childrens picture book by American author and illustrator Ezra Jack Keats published by the Penguin Group in 1998.

Peter is growing up, and Ezra is showing us his widening world.
