Blue

Four friends are playing after school. They play video games, football, and Scalextric until they are bored. Then they meet Sabrina, a new arrival in their street. "Let's play the color game," she says. "Today is a good day for Blue," and she leads the way up onto the roof. They all lie on their backs and stare straight at the sky. At first they all think she is crazy, but gradually they start hearing all the everyday noises around them, and they get lost in the blue. A marvelous book about the joys of seeing the world around us. Philippe Dupasquier is internationally known as an author and illustrator of exceptional talent; his books include the award-winning Dear Daddy as well as Red Blue Color Zoo and Sunday with Grandpa.
