"Not Blue" is about societal pressure to be "normal," to fit in, and to adhere to the status quo. Through the power of representation, self love and acceptance, one girl shines her own unique light, illuminating the fact that different can be extraordinarily beautiful.
The vibrant illustrations creatively draw the reader through a journey from conformity, to individuality and diversity.
"Not Blue is a great read with a great message. It is beautifully written and illustrated and subtly delivers the important message of self love, acceptance and commonality. A fine edition to a child in your life's story time rotation. Well done!" - Rod Cornish, Owner at Hot Rod Cafe, New London, CT/ Author.
"Not Blue delivers a critical message to us all- what is most important is who we are, not who we are not. Beautifully written and illustrated, this story reminds us to treasure difference, an essential component of our humanity. Reading this with our children allows space for difficult conversations that confront conventions and question assumptions. A true gift, worth reading and reflecting on at any age." - Erica Mahon, Director of Special Services, Ocean Avenue LEARNing Academy
