Unnaturally Blue
Unnaturally Blue | Dorson Plourde
1 post | 1 read
A richly imagined picture book about finding your way back to yourself. A young swimmer panics in a crowded community pool, and it feels like there isnt even any room for her tears. Out of place where she was once at home, she swims down, down, into the deepest deep and embarks on a surrealist journey to the swampy world under the under. As she rests there with her feelings, she finds power in embracing who she is even the swampiest parts. And her triumphant return to the pool inspires the other children to be their truest selves, too. This dreamlike story about big feelings and acceptance from the author of the acclaimed Garbage Gulls and the award-winning illustrator of The Strangest Thing in the Sea is sure to spark childrens wildest imaginings.

2 ⭐The best thing I can say about this book is, I‘m not sure I understand it. Our character in her buttercream yellow swimsuit knows the world is blue. She‘s depressed and crying and her tears won‘t stop until she sweeps herself down the drain of the pool. She comes back from either the other side or a world of make believe. I‘m not quite sure. There are so many different things this could be. I will say the artwork is top-notch and beautiful.
