When Out of the Blue first arrived in my home, I instantly fell in love. My husband and I had so much fun that evening telling our own story to go with Out of the Blue. The more you look at Allison's illustrations the more you see.
We were like kids, eagerly turning each page and ohhhiing and ahhhing over each illustration. Barefoot Books indicates it is a book for all ages...I AGREE!
Wonderful book, too, if you are planning a beach vacation this year...a must to take with you. You can also have the children in your life make their own versions of Out of the Blue by writing down their stories. Or illustrate their own wordless picture book on their beach vacation adventures.
Before I became a Barefoot Books Ambassador, I was already a fan of Allison Jay's illustrations, from a series of juvenile fiction books, The Books of Bayern by Shannon Hale. Allison Jay illustrated the original front covers of this Bayern series.
Now as Barefoot Book Ambassador I am thrilled to again see her gorgeous illustration for our books, I Took the Moon for a Walk and Listen, Listen. Both of these are at the top of my favorite Barefoot Book list.
