They Say Blue by Jillian Tamaki

4.0

When the Boston Globe-Horn Book Awards were announced, I had already read 4 of the 9 titles, so decided to try to read the rest. This book has beautiful, sweeping illustrations, sumptuously packaged, with thick papers, vibrant colors, and a series of contrasts. Unfortunately, the story became incoherent to me. More than once I double checked to be sure I hadn't skipped a page on accident. The blue segment makes nice segues, but it jumps around too much too fast after that.
