About This Book
Reach for this book when your child feels overlooked, bored, or is struggling with a case of the blues that they cannot quite name. It is a perfect choice for those days when a child feels unimportant or disconnected from the world around them. The story follows Billy, who feels so plain and unnoticed that he decides he must be a Blah. Through whimsical and absurdist imagery, Billy creates an entire world of fellow Blahs, using his imagination to transform his internal feeling of nothingness into a vibrant, creative outlet. This book validates the quiet, sometimes lonely experience of being a child while celebrating the power of the mind to provide company and color. It is a gentle, humorous way to discuss self-worth and emotional identity with children aged 4 to 8, showing them that even a Blah can be the hero of their own story.
