Praise for They Say Blue

**STARRED REVIEW** "The free-association nature of the child narrator’s interaction with her surroundings seems utterly familiar, and approaching it with observational, sensory language lands it firmly in territory children can relate to. This poetic, off-kilter little book has enigmatic power, and observant children will likely be enchanted."
Booklist

**STARRED REVIEW** "Thinking, imagining, noticing—these, Tamaki suggests, are the tools we have to understand our world."
Publishers Weekly

**STARRED REVIEW** "Attuned to a child’s psychology and patterns of critical thinking, this visually stunning work is a must-purchase for libraries."
School Library Journal

A reminder to slow down, savor the present, notice small details, and relish childlike wonder.
Kirkus Reviews
