Sean Moore has written and illustrated a fresh and witty picture book about a young girl's dream of having shiny, new, yellow boots--'cause without them, she has the blues!
It's raining outside and I still have my pride,
but no boots to complement my blue jeans.
So, I've got the blues, yup, the Yellow Blues.
(Don't yellow and blue make green?)
We were off to the races
to shop at the places
I'd spotted the boots once before,
But I'll be doggone: the yellow boots were all gone ...
Jane really, really, really wants yellow Wellingtons. In her opinion they are the ultimate rainy day boots. But her parents are oblivious to Jane's footwear fiasco, and now she has the "Yellow Blues." Will Jane be able to convince her parents to purchase the boots? Will she be destined to be truly un-cool when she arrives at school? Are waffles and cheese really Jane's favourite snack (uh, YUCK)? These and many other perplexing yellow-boot questions will be answered in due time. Or hopefully before it rains again ...
From author/illustrator Sean Moore comes a laugh-out-loud, rhyming tale about not always getting what you want, but ultimately getting exactly what you need.
Ages 3-6
