Grey
We weren't sure about this book when we first looked at it, as it looked sad, but we all loved 'Charlie and Lola' when we were smaller, and recognised the drawing style of Lauren Child, so we were happy to read it. We like the tactile cover and the 'smudginess' of the character, and we really liked the different drawing methods used throughout the book, especially the page drawn in chalk, and the one with the scrunched up paper/scribbled face. We also really like the cut-out pages. We noticed the bright colours that contrasted with the grey of the character, and how the colours then transferred onto the character at the end. We haven't seen or read a book like this before - it's a sad book with a happy ending, and reading it, you would feel better by the end. We think it's an important book because there are some days that you do feel grey (some of us use blue to describe those feelings) and it's OK to feel that way, but there are lots of different things or people that can help you feel better and more yellow (which we think is a happy colour, along with green.)
