Bookroo's summary

Four friends, bored with their usual games, meet Sabrina, who introduces them to the Color Game. As they lie on the roof, staring at the sky, they discover a new way to experience the world. What secrets does the color blue hold, and how will it change their perspective forever? Dive into a story where the ordinary becomes extraordinary, and the simple act of looking up reveals a universe of possibilities.

From the publisher

Four friends are playing after school. They play video games, football, and Scalextric until they are bored. Then they meet Sabrina, a new arrival in their street. “Let s play the color game,” she says. “Today is a good day for Blue,” and she leads the way up onto the roof. They all lie on their backs and stare straight at the sky. At first they all think she is crazy, but gradually they start hearing all the everyday noises around them, and they get lost in the blue. A marvelous book about the joys of seeing the world around us. Philippe Dupasquier is internationally known as an author and illustrator of exceptional talent; his books include the award-winning “Dear Daddy” as well as “Red Blue Color Zoo” and “Sunday with Grandpa.””
