Seeing Sky-Blue Pink

Seeing Sky-Blue Pink by Candice F. Ransom

Maddie is eight and she and her mother have recently moved out to the country to live with her step-father. At first Maddie isn’t so sure she’s going to like living in the country. Her stepfather takes her on hikes through the woods, builds her a tree house and she soon loves the country as much as he does.

The title comes from the color that appears just as the sun is going down on certain nights with the right clouds. It’s the color that they decide to paint Maddie’s new bedroom.

This is a great book for kids who have graduated from first chapter books. There isn’t a lot of action just a nice story with each chapter being short and easy to read one at a time.

    I think that this book would be great for my little one. She is starting to get bored with the ones we have. I have been looking around for new ones and I think this would be perfect. Thanks for the review.
