I've had some curiosity about color blindness, and I think this book offers a wonderful way of looking at it, quite literally from the lens of someone with color blindness. I love how eventually Jaxon begins to accept it as truly a gift rather than a deficit that sets him apart from the rest. It is also such a small thing that you don't see people discuss and talk about it when there really are so many with different types and extents of color blindness. Heidi Rodis paired Jaxon's very mature and engaging storytelling with gorgeous illustrations that perfectly highlight what the world looks like from Jaxon's eyes.
