Sky Color

In Peter H. Reynolds' "Sky Color," Marisol, a young artist, faces a creative challenge when asked to paint a sky for her school library mural, only to find herself without blue paint. Through quiet observation of the world around her and a journey into her own imagination, Marisol discovers that the sky is not just blue, but a spectrum of colors and possibilities. This gentle and uplifting picture book, part of Reynolds' "Creatrilogy," encourages children aged 3-7 to think outside the box, embrace their unique perspectives, and trust their inner creative spirit. It's a wonderful conversation starter about art, problem-solving, and the beauty of seeing things differently.

The sky’s no limit as the author-illustrator of The Dot and Ish winds up his Creatrilogy with a whimsical tale about seeing the world a new way. Features an audio read-along! Marisol loves to paint. So when her teacher asks her to help make a mural for the school library, she can’t wait to begin! But how can Marisol make a sky without blue paint? After gazing out the bus window and watching from her porch as day turns into night, she closes her eyes and starts to dream. . . . From the award-winning Peter H. Reynolds comes a gentle, playful reminder that if we keep our hearts open and look beyond the expected, creative inspiration will come.
