Sky Color is is one of Peter H. Reynolds best books to date. His creativity , collaboration , critical thinking has aided both both children and big children alike. Giving us all encouragement to think outside the box. To make our own mark in this world. To inspire us all with his originality .Thank you ever so much ! For letting our true color's come shining through !!!
Sky Color has an interesting perspective. Looking at the sky as we think we know it in a different and interesting way. This book tells the story of opening your eyes to variety and the tradional way is not the only way to see things. A good book for children of all ages.
I like Sky Color, and also Ish, because Peter Reynolds tells a story of kids who are frustrated because their art might not be what they initially expect it to be. This was an important issue to address with my four year old perfectionist. In Sky Color, Marisol has to figure out how to paint a sky without the color blue. The text encourages kids to look beyond the traditional expectations of "Skies are blue" that the world tries to hammer into them.
Peter H. Reynolds has a way of touching children of all ages with his ability to help them open up their vision of what constitutes a sky or any other attempt at using color.As an artist, i find his books, especially the 'Dot" to free children when doing any form of painting to paint large paintings with lots of color.
Love the book! Such an inspirational little story, and great for any Art teacher to have in his/her library. A must have! :)
I great lesson on creative problem solving. So refreshing to see a book geared towards children that walks through the creative problem solving process when you can't solve it with literal means. This book answers the question of how to paint a sky without the color blue.
I love the creativity of this story. I read it in the library where I work, and actually purchased it for a friend with the same name as the character. My friend is also very creative, and so it felt natural to get her the book :)
Beautiful illustrations to go along with a wonderfully creative lesson.I am a huge fan of Peter H. Reynolds. This is the third book that I have purchased as a project for my children.This one is for my youngest - I am having her teachers sign it throughout the years and will be giving to her as a graduation gift (similar to what some do with another story but I prefer Peter H. Reynolds stories for this because of the lessons and "out of the box" thinking with encouragement they have)
