My Cat Is Blue Review:
What an adorable children’s story “My Cat Is Blue” was to read. This book is one that I feel would resonate with a reader of any age.
The author deals with various issues like loss, depression and coping, and moving on. We see how a young girl worries for her cat, who doesn’t feel like doing anything anymore. Many of us also go through a phase where we lose a loved one. W cannot focus on anything at some point and find it difficult to move on. It takes a while for all of us to accept and get back to normal. The author realistically depicts how this would affect any species. I loved how gradual the story felt and thought it was important for children to be aware.
Moreover, I loved the contrasting colors the illustrator used to depict the characters’ moods and the surroundings. Initially, only the cat is blue because of the way it feels. But, you see how the girl also turns a shade of blue because of her worry over the cat. As the story progresses, you realize how the colors become vibrant and shift based on the characters’ moods. Bulankina Ka did a fabulous job selecting lovely tones and striking colors to make the story stand out. Also, the expressions of the girl and the cat are SO adorable that you fall in love with them instantly.
Overall, I loved reading “My Cat Is Blue,” and I hope the team continues to publish many more such stories because they have an impeccable talent for it.
