Review Detail

MY BLUE IS HAPPY is a fresh, engaging story that encourages young readers to celebrate seeing the world through their own unique lens. Colors and what they mean are explored through the eyes of the narrator, who comments on how someone else sees a color (Her brother thinks that red is angry, like a dragon's fiery breath.) and then gives her own unique perspective (She thinks red is brave like a firetruck.). The illustrations are friendly and colorful, and each captures the mood of the color being discussed (both versions of the color's interpretation) perfectly.

This is a lovely book with an important message that is perfectly written and illustrated in a way that will capture young readers. I highly recommend it.
