My Cold Plum Lemon Pie Bluesy Mood

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Shane W. Evans. Jamie expresses his shifting emotions in a rainbow of colors. His cool purple "Grape-juice drinking...Bobbing to the beat kind of mood" shifts to a "Gloomy gray kind of place" when his brothers are mean, and so on. The stuttering free verse can be difficult to follow; Evans's hue-specific digital-collage illustrations provide most of this conceptually smart book's expression.
