In this deceptively simple picture book, author-illustrator Deborah Freedman has created an irresistible character that springs to life and wreaks havoc in a farmyard with a pot of blue paint. The innocent chicken just wants to help, but things get worse and worse - and bluer and bluer - the more she tries. Playing with colors and perspective, and using minimal text, this richly layered story reveals new things to see and laugh about with each reading.
Deborah Freedman was trained to be an architect, but what she loves to do most is build worlds in books. Her first picture book, SCRIBBLE (Knopf), was a Children's Book Sense Pick and a finalist for the 2008 Connecticut Book Award. Deborah lives in a colorful house in Connecticut, where she is busy at work on her next book. Please visit www.deborahfreedman.net to learn more about Deborah and her work.
