(Dianne Miller Aug. 7, 2013)
The Sky is Blue was written and illustrated by the creator of the Little Bunny series, landscape artist Dianne Miller.At first glance, The Sky is Blue appears to be a concept book about colors. However, The Sky is Blue is a picture book about creativity.Each color in the color wheel is presented in four pictures. The first depicts an object or element in the color it typically appears in nature. The next two show the item in colors that appear less common. The fourth illustration depicts the item in a color produced by a person's creative action.The Sky is Blue is intended to gently encourage young children to look beyond stereotypes and encourage the freedom to creatively express their thoughts, ideas and feelings.Packaged inside a very traditionally illustrated book about colors are the seeds to creative and abstract expression.
