Summary:
Caldecott and Printz Honor-winning illustrator Jillian Tamaki brings us a poetic exploration of colour and nature from a young child’s point of view. They Say Blue follows a young girl as she contemplates colours in the known and the unknown, in the immediate world and the world beyond what she can see. The sea looks blue, yet water cupped in her hands is as clear as glass. Is a blue whale blue? She doesn’t know she hasn’t seen one. Stunningly beautiful illustrations flow from one spread to the next, as time passes and the imagination takes hold. The world is full of colour, and mystery too, in this first picture book from a highly acclaimed artist.
A young girl describes where she finds colors in both the world around her and beyond what she can see. They Say Blue follows a young girl through a year or a day, depending on your perspective, and illuminates where she finds colors in both the world around her and the world beyond what she can see. Egg yolks are sunny orange, yet water cupped in her hands isn't quite so blue as expected. But maybe a blue whale is blue. She doesn't know, she hasn't seen one. But the crows outside her window are just as black as the hair her mother combs each morning. Gentle and meditative, this first picture book from celebrated illustrator Jillian Tamaki is timeless and ageless.
