Episode 100! Today I'm reading Max's Life in Blue written by Caysie Harvey. 

In the author's words: " In this vividly illustrated story, children are introduced to the concept of colors through Max's unique perspective. The narrative is a gentle reminder that the world is a canvas of diverse colors, and while Max's world may be blue, it doesn't mean that it's the only color that exists. It's a delightful way to teach children about colors and the beauty of diversity.

Max's Life in Blue is more than just a story about colors. It's a heartwarming tale about the love of family. Max's parents and his playful dog are his constant companions, their love for him as deep and vast as the blue sea. Through their interactions, children learn about the importance of family and the bonds that tie them together.

But perhaps the most important lesson in Max's Life in Blue is the importance of being true to oneself. "

Listen in to the full episode and check out the physical book on all of its vivid and colourful illustrations on AMAZON.
