Books with title Blue:

How many shades of blue are there?There’s the soft blue of a baby’s cherished blanket, the ocean blue of a romp in the waves, the chilly blue of a cold winter’s walk in the snow, and the true blue of the bond that exists between children and animals.In this simple, sumptuously illustrated companion to Caldecott Honor Book Green, award-winning artist Laura Vaccaro Seeger turns her attention to the ways in which color evokes emotion, and in doing so tells the story of one special and enduring friendship.

Objectivity is easier when your brain isn’t broken, but Jason Erikson didn’t realize that until it was too late to stop his heart from bleeding. Blue starts when Jason, a young, jaded journalist, ends up in Abaddan on a favor to his boss. He learns real quick that it’s a sad town with a pretty shit history. After all, it's not every day three lives end on the same property. There was only one survivor, Conner Mitchell, but he’s inconveniently in a coma. That doesn’t help Jason get to the meat of what happened there. Hitting too many dead ends, his approach to research gets a bit... unconventional. With Conner’s dead girlfriend’s diary in hand, Jason learns more than he ever wanted about the kid. Worse, he’s forced to acknowledge who he really is and figure out what the hell he’s going to do about it. Lucky for him, he might make it out okay with someone who understands the things he feels. Someone like Conner.

<P>Morgan is bored with his life. Nothing exciting ever happens in his house. He can calculate his parents' daily routine to the exact minute. He feels old before his time, with nothing to look forward to but more boredom.</P><P>Then one dreary Sunday, Morgan has a vision of a magnificent fish, a leaping marlin wild in the sea, a creature so free that it would rather die than be tamed. The dream (if dream it is) is so vivid, Morgan feels a shocking rush of strength and speed racing through his veins, smells the salt air, and tastes the electricity of an impending ocean storm. For one brief exhilarating moment, sitting in a cramped apartment on a city block where every building looks exactly like the next, Morgan is that marlin, and from that moment on, he begins to change.</P><P>A comic Metamorphosis for kids, this poignant, gently humorous, and highly original tale by actor, playwright, and first-time novelist James DeVita is a tender testament to following one's heart. Through a series of miraculous and sometimes ridiculous events, Morgan comes to understand that he has the power to be whatever he wants to be -- even a fish -- as long as he believes in himself.</P>

The demand was growing too quickly. The beliefs of healers convinced of their supernatural medicinal properties fueled a thriving black market for the most grisly commodity to obtain-- the body parts of the colorless people. After the murder and maiming of countless people afflicted with Albinism, the South African government realized that they had no choice but to intervene. Out of the desire to provide protection to even the poorest of the afflicted people, the Humane Harvest Compounds were established. Fifteen years later, in a rapidly-changing post-Apartheid nation, two young women find themselves face-to-face with the walls that have surrounded them for as long as they can remember. Anytha (a bright, college-bound, young thinker) begins second-guessing her loyalty to her family's life-long faith--the Practice of Blue--a thriving new religion whose doctrine is based on the "Law of the Land." Tabitha, (a sweet, quiet, conspiracy theorist with Albinism who was sold to the Humane Harvest Compounds as a baby) finds herself dreaming about an unharvested life outside of the concrete walls. Though they are living two completely different lives, Anytha and Tabitha are both found questioning the motives of those in power--setting their minds to look beyond their spotless reputations, good deeds, and popularity--unaware that what they discover may make them question everything that they believe about life itself.
