Lovely picture book about creativity, keeping our eyes and minds open, and thinking for ourselves. Lots of cool messages.

This is another charmer of a picture book from Reynolds who wrote the popular Ish and The Dot. Marisol considers herself an artist. She paints lots of pictures, carries art supplies with her, and sees an artist in everyone. So Marisol is thrilled when she learns that their next project will be a class mural. Marisol wants to paint the sky. The only problem is that there’s no blue paint. How can she paint the sky without any blue? Happily, the sky itself shows all of the colors possible to Marisol and she is inspired to paint the sky in many colors.

Gorgeous story @ creativity, thinking "outside the box" being inspired by dreams. African-American girl protagonist Marisol who is an artist in school setting painting mural in the library. Perfect design, illustration, typography, use of +\- space on pages.

I'm so happy to have another story featuring Marisol. With his signature watercolor illustrations, Reynolds reminds children and adults that there are no limits on what we can create and dream. After you read this, you will sigh deeply with contentment.
