Blue Ethel

40 pp. | Farrar/Ferguson | May, 2017 | Trade ISBN 978-0-374-30382-2 $17.99
(3) K-3 Elderly black-and-white cat Ethel unwittingly rolls in sidewalk chalk and turns her white fur blue. She's mortified until a shy and "usually white" kitten comes to visit--now entirely pink in solidarity. This funny, affectionate story of friendship and self-expression is told in understated text with effective use of repetition. Lively pen-and-ink illustrations with washes of vibrant color convey the friends' contentment.
