UNNATURALLY BLUE has been longlisted for the 2026 Mass Book Awards in the Picture Book category! 🎉
It’s a richly imagined picture book about finding your way back to yourself.
In UNNATURALLY BLUE, a young swimmer panics in a crowded community pool, and it feels like there isn’t even any room for her tears. Out of place where she was once at home, the girl swims down, down, into the deepest deep … and embarks on a surrealist journey into the swampy world under the under. As she rests there with her feelings, the girl finds power in embracing who she is — even the swampiest parts. And her triumphant return to the pool inspires the other children to be their truest selves, too.
