Synopsis
When Blu moves into a town full of tomatoes, he quickly realises he's the only one in . . . blue! But Blu doesn't want to be blue - he wants to be red like everyone else. So he begins a project to try and change the way he looks.
A stunning celebration of personal growth and self-acceptance, from debut talent Amber Au. Quirky humour and a warm, pared-back palette beautifully capture both the ache of feeling like an outsider, and the joys to be found in the very things that set us apart.
Ideal for fans of Elmer by David McKee, The Day the Crayons Quit by Drew Daywalt and Oliver Jeffers, and Odd Dog Out by Rob Biddulph, this heartfelt, confidence-boosting picture book will captivate readers young and old. Highly commended at the World Illustration Awards 2024.
