Red has a bright red label, but he is, in fact, blue. His teacher tries to help him be red (lets draw strawberries!), his mother tries to help him be red by sending him out on a playdate with a yellow classmate (go draw a nice orange!), and the scissors try to help him be red by snipping his label so that he has room to breathe.
But Red is miserable. He just cant be red, no matter how hard he tries! Finally, a brand-new friend offers a brand-new perspective, and Red discovers what readers have known all along. Hes blue! Funny, insightful, layered, and colorful, the new picture book by Michael Hall is about being true to your inner self and following your own path.
