Unnaturally Blue

Unnaturally Blue

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 isn’t 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 children’s wildest imaginings.
