They Say Blue

Plenty of kids' books introduce young readers to colors, but few do what Tamaki's beautiful book does so subtly: show that color depends on perspective (why does blue water turn clear when it runs through my hands?) and that, for a curious kid, colors connect to the imagination with the fluidity of water. Even older folks reading along might find themselves looking at the colors of the world around them in a different way. (Age one and up)
