Jasmine favorite color is blue. Everything that she has is blue. But when she’s given a red monkey as a gift for her birthday she embarks on a dreamy adventure to a colorful land called Prisma where she learns all the colors are beautiful.

Deanna Hart’s brilliant children’s book tells the tale of a young girl who finds herself entranced by a single color and finds it challenging to embrace other colors in the spectrum. As a parent, I found this story relatable, as it’s common for our little ones to develop intense affection for one color, often overlooking the charm of others. This narrative serves as an exceptional instrument to encourage children to appreciate the vibrant array of colors in our world while still cherishing their personal favorites.

This is a richly colored kid’s book. One of my favorite features of Blue Is the Only Color in the Rainbow is the progression of hues from an all-blue start to a dazzling mix of rainbow colors later in the story. Illustrator Chrish Vindhy has done a commendable job in translating Jasmine’s journey into colorful visuals. Jasmine’s shifting emotions are vividly portrayed, making it easy for young readers to connect with her journey.

Blue Is the Only Color in the Rainbow is a wonderfully educational picture book that guides young minds to understand that venturing beyond our comfort zones can open up a fascinating new world. A must-read for the little explorers in our lives!
