Series: Color

The Things That I Think When I Think About Blue is a calm and whimsical journey through all the delights that the color blue inspires. From ice skates and rainy days to blueberry pie, baseball gloves, the ocean, whales, and sharks, every page celebrates the simple wonders found in this expressive color.

Across this entire book, blue appears in a variety of familiar and natural places, showing how one color can be found in both everyday activities and the wider natural world. It is seen in movement and play, in weather and water, in food, and in creatures of the sea. Each page presents a different glimpse of blue through recognizable ideas and playful scenes, allowing readers to move from one moment to the next with curiosity.

Rather than focusing on a single story, the book explores how a single color can connect many different ideas together. From outdoor play to spectacular ocean life, blue is woven throughout in a way that brings unity to each page while still offering variety and surprise. This gentle progression encourages readers to notice patterns, make connections, and discover how familiar things can be linked together through color in fun and unexpected ways.

Perfect for children and the young at heart, this color filled adventure invites readers to explore sights, sounds, tastes, and ideas through curiosity and imagination. Whether it's rainy afternoons or ocean adventures, blue becomes a world full of endless possibilities.
