A Day So Gray by Marie Lamba


Two friends out for a walk on a wintry day disagree about the colors that surround them. Is gray just gray? 

Thoughts: Such a fun book that explores the many colors of winter. I love the optimistic friend's descriptions of the colors and the pessimistic friend's disgruntled responses. The illustrations are bright and colorful. My favorite is the cover illustration. Pair with Red Sings from the Treetops: A Year in Colors by Joyce Sidman, Cozy by Jan Brett, Bear is Awake! by Hannah E. Harrison, Winter is Here by Kevin Henkes, and "Menu for a Gray Day" from The Popcorn Astronauts and Other Biteable Rhymes by Deborah Ruddell
