    About this ebook

    When a little girl wonders that age old question, “Why is the sky blue?” her imagination takes her on a beautiful journey of color, science and friendship.

    This gorgeously illustrated picture book works equally well in the classroom or at bedtime.



    Here's what people are saying about Why Blue:

    "Children are naturally curious, creative and "wonder"ful. They look at the world with fresh eyes, quite different than our own. How can we ensure that this kind of creative thinking continues to exist in our students' minds during a time when they are fed a steady diet of "information overload"- TV, internet, video games? Well, I think we need to balance out that digital diet with intelligent, imaginative and inspiring books like Why Blue? by Josh Tuininga." -Creating a Thoughtful Classroom



    "If you are looking for a fun book for your family or even for your child's classroom (Teacher Appreciation Week is coming soon), "Why Blue?" is the great option! The book is perfect for beginning readers, kids who like to use their imaginations and families who enjoy cuddling up and reading together." - Macaroni Kid

      Anyone who has had children, worked with children or spent any time with children, know they love to ask questions, especially "why" questions. In this story Maya goes for a walk. While sitting on a bench she looks up at the sky and wonders why it is blue and not some other color. She sets out asking everyone she meets "why is the sky blue?" She gets all kinds of answers depending upon who she asks, of course they are not accurate, but make sense to young Maya. When she asks her brother, he tries to explain it scientifically which just floats away over Maya's young head. There are some cute illustrations with blue backgrounds of course. When Maya falls asleep, she has wonderful, imaginative dreams about her idea of what is in the sky. A great story to read at bedtime, to use when learning about inquiry or to teach about why questions. The publisher generously provided me with a copy of this book via Netgalley.

      I loved this book because it is spot on. children are full of "why" questions. In this story Maya goes for a walk. While sitting on a bench she looks up at the sky and wonders why it is blue and not some other color. Read to find out what she learns about why the sky is blue. The author has demonstrated through his writing that a little kid still exists inside of him that continues to make him ask why
