They Say Blue by Jillian Tamaki
3.0
Hmmm.......okay, so this book is BEAUTIFULLY illustrated. It used a medium of acrylic paint on watercolor paper and photoshop. Truly, it is stunning to look at. The detailing, the brush strokes, how the illustrations tell a story....it has all of those things going for it.
Only I don't feel there is much of a story. Maybe I missed it. I can tell you that it will not work in a storytime at all. (It's too "out there"). It's a story of nature and self discovery. It's a story about seasons. It kind of feels all over the place. Unless it was meant to communicate that one color can be the expression of many thing......because then THAT makes sense.
