Description
A boy’s creativity and self-confidence challenge and inspire his teacher.
What do you see outside your window? If you’re like Robert, you’ll see that the sky isn’t always blue. Robert has an artist’s eye and an independent mind who knows what he knows, even when his teacher, Mrs. Murphy, disagrees. She wants Robert to use blue crayon to represent the sky, but Robert knows that the sky is more varied, more vivid, much more beautiful than that.
Children learn many things from their teachers, yet sometimes teachers can learn from students! Robert holds fast to what he knows and believes. And Mrs. Murphy comes to agree that the sky is not just blue. It’s a spectrum of rich and changing colors that remind her of children full of joy and imagination.
The Sky Is Not Blue invites a conversation about individual perspectives and encourages children to trust and express their beliefs.
