| Grade 1-3–Living in a blue land, young Blue and his blue calf, Polly, dream about all the other colors of the world. Setting off to explore, they encounter a purple village, orange hills, a red town, and other monochromatic places. At last they arrive in a beautiful multihued city, and the boy lives there happily until he realizes that there is no blue. Frightened, he locks himself and Polly in his room. Boredom leads him to an idea: he begins to paint, write, and sing in blue and then sends his creative works out beneath his door. When he ventures outside again, he finds his contributions have added a new hue to the city's kaleidoscope of colors. He, too, changes, as he physically takes on an array of new shades, but retains his blue heart. The brief text is balanced by simple, computer-colored brush and India-ink artwork. The illustrations begin with blue pages and move through the spectrum as Blue and Polly expand their horizons. Throughout their travels, the duo's contrasting shade stands out, creating a feeling of isolation. The youngster's change of palette colorfully reflects the story's underlying message. While not a first purchase, this allegorical offering will work well as an introduction to multicultural discussions as well as lessons on courage.–Carolyn Janssen, Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County, OH |

Blue and his best friend Polly are heading out of their blue land for a world adventure. They want to live a more colorful life than the blue one they currently live in. The lands they visit are orange, pink, purple, green, yellow and red. After traveling for awhile, they visit a city that's unlike anything they've seen before. In this city, every color, but blue, is visible.
Blue becomes frightened because there is no blue, anywhere! Can he find the courage to introduce the color blue into a land that doesn't have it?
Artist and author Robert Neubecker's subtle suggestion to children is: show and share your true colors (self) to the world. It will be a better place for everyone if they do.
But I wonder if the message is too subtle. It provides the adult reader to discuss the meaning with the children. And that's a good thing.
Armchair Interviews says: Neubecker's story of courage is delightful and children will enjoy it and the illustrations. |
