About the Book and Author / Illustrator
This picture book with muted illustrations in blue/grey tones is designed to help young children manage their powerful feelings.
Once I had a secret that was big and monstery . . . I thought of it as Blue.
But Blue the monster doesn’t have to be scary.
And he doesn’t have to be a secret. After all, we all feel blue from time to time and talking about it helps.
