Bookroo's summary

Marisol loves painting and is thrilled to create a mural for her school. But there's a problem—no blue paint for the sky. As she watches the world transform from day to night, Marisol learns to see beyond the ordinary. Will her imagination find a way to paint the sky? This whimsical tale invites readers to explore creativity and inspiration in unexpected places.

From the publisher

The sky’s no limit as the author-illustrator of The Dot and Ish winds up his Creatrilogy with a whimsical tale about seeing the world a new way.

Marisol loves to paint. So when her teacher asks her to help make a mural for the school library, she can’t wait to begin! But how can Marisol make a sky without blue paint? After gazing out the bus window and watching from her porch as day turns into night, she closes her eyes and starts to dream. . . . From the award-winning Peter H. Reynolds comes a gentle, playful reminder that if we keep our hearts open and look beyond the expected, creative inspiration will come.
