This picture book about a boy who overcomes his fear of being different is a celebration of diversity, acceptance, and pride, perfect for fans of Julián is a Mermaid.
In a very blue house, on a very blue street, in his very blue bedroom, sits a little boy who's feeling very blue. He has a secret: he loves the color yellow. And in a world where only blue is allowed, he knows in his heart that loving a different color must be bad.
Can the boy find the courage to share his true self with his dad? Can the world see the benefits of letting everyone love any color they want to?
A stunning celebration of being yourself and living in ALL the colors of the rainbow, from debut author Robert Tregoning and rising star illustrator Stef Murphy.
Praise for Out of the Blue: A heartwarming picture book about celebrating difference
“. . . sweet, catered to add to queer-friendly story times about acceptance and love. . . Murphy's digital art is quiet and subtly beautiful as the pages transition from cool, melancholic blues to page-popping swirls of yellow to the eventual full-rainbow world. Additionally, the rhythmic text lends this book a smooth and satisfying cadence that contribute to its group story time appeal.” —BCCB
“Encourages children (and by extension, their parents, caregivers, and teachers) to embrace and celebrate the differences that make them unique.” —Booklist
