About This Book
Reach for this book when your child feels like their inner world doesn't match the descriptions they hear from others, or when they are struggling with the 'right' way to express an emotion. It is a beautiful tool for validating a child's unique perspective and helping them understand that there are no wrong ways to experience a feeling. Through a series of poetic comparisons, the story explores how colors can represent different things to different people. While most say blue is sad, the narrator sees the blue of a bright summer sky. By moving through the rainbow, the book celebrates individuality and emotional intelligence. It is perfect for children aged 4 to 8 who are beginning to navigate complex social cues and their own developing sense of self.
