Have you read Dot or Ish? Sky Color, by Peter H. Reynolds, is the third book in his
Creatilogy. As a family, we love
drawing, painting, and making things.
We’ve been talking about making connections to text and self. Marisol, the young
character in Sky Color is an artist, so it was easy for us to make a
connection!
Marisol faces a problem in that she is going to paint the
sky for a class mural, but doesn’t have blue paint in her box. By watching a sunset and remembering
her dream, she comes up with a solution to her problem in a very colorful
way. Seeing her creative solution
is a delight! The great thing
about the book is that is just opens up conversations about how to “see” things
in different ways!
*Do you think Marisol is creative?
*What problems have you solved creatively?
*What was your favorite illustration in the book?
