Not the pictures of bacteria she draws with painstaking precision, not even Picasso, the puppy with the long soft ears and the cute black circle like a target on his bottom. Then Frances meets Kit, the tall, quiet boy with the two-colored eyes. Kit is a real artist. His colored pencils fill page after page of exercise books. He sees wonder in the rocks, ferns, and sky. Though Kit has worries of his own, but when secrets are spilled, Frances' life turns grey and drab. Not even Picasso's wet nose can brighten her up. Frances and Kit will need to face the truth of their pasts to find color in their world again. After all, don't the most brilliant sunsets need a cloudy sky?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA beautiful novel about finding the remarkable in the ordinary and celebrating the wonder of every day, from the award-winning author of Borrowed Light.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMarvellous, mind-opening, and deeply moving.
