Gray

Laura Dockrill

A child’s changing moods are explored through colors, including bright yellow and orange as well as gray and night-sky black. Gray describes times when the child does not feel like themself or feel that they belong. The book pairs these emotions with expressions of parental care: hugs and lullabies await whatever the child is feeling. Poetic text, mixed-media artwork, and die-cuts present sadness alongside love and acceptance of emotions.
