Grey: A picture book poem about feelings and acceptance

A beautiful, sensitively handled allegory of acceptance and understanding emotions from two picture book titans. ~Waterstones.com

A superb collaboration between two picture-book giants, full of strong colour and simple, effective cut-outs.” ~The Guardian

This book of few words is about sadness and feeling low but has a hopeful, more colourful ending full of love and kindness. This is a perfect read aloud book for ages 3+ and is one which will help them make sense of their feelings. Simply told with appropriate, sensitive language, it is so cleverly illustrated it could be understood even if you were not to read the words. What makes this book stand out is the presentation of the pages with cut-out shapes highlighting the colours and images; I especially love the reflection of the child's face in the puddle. On a more basic level it could be a discussion about colour and how different colours make you feel. The book is beautifully bound, and the colours are soft and contrast nicely with the grey. ~The School Librarian

An absolutely gorgeous large hardback book. Perfect for the classroom. ~Toppsta Reviewer
