They Say Blue by Jillian TamakiA young girl describes where she finds colours in both the world around her and beyond what she can see.The narrator observes the dark eyes of a crow, the lilac of a budding flower, and the way water is blue in the sea and clear in her hands. A particularly stunning spread exploring both orange and red lets the girl’s imagination soar as she considers colours that don’t need to be seen to be known—the golden yolk of an egg, the deep red in her veins.

Don't blink!by Amy Krouse RosenthalThis interactive book may seem to be on your side, reluctant sleeper -- but it's truly a bedtime book in disguise! Here's how it works: if you can avoid getting to the end of this book, you can avoid bedtime, simple as that. (It's a pretty sweet deal, actually.) But each time you blink, you have to turn a page. Those are just the rules. So whatever you do, DON'T BLINK!
