THEY SAY BLUE

Michi Barall's warm narration of this poetic and imaginative children's book about colors will appeal to young listeners, especially those who continually marvel at the natural world around them. Throughout, Barall's narration echoes the emotion in the text, whether it's a quiet whisper at the end of the day or a joyful call to the sun and sky. Listeners will recognize the enthusiasm in Barall's voice as the world warms in the summer, and her tone of acceptance at fall's chill and winter's embrace. Tamaki's imaginative illustrations are worth seeking out to pair with listening, though they aren't essential to appreciating the meaning behind these moving words.
