Emily's Blue Period

(1) K-3 Illustrated by Lisa Brown. Young artist Emily is learning about Pablo Picasso, whose work makes an apt frame for this story of divorce (for example, Emily's sadness over the changes in her family pushes her into her own blue period). Told in five chapters, Daly's affecting but unsentimental story is elegantly supported by Brown's simple pencil and watercolor illustrations. A heartfelt, relatable, empowering book.
