Bob's Blue Period

A delightful picture book that celebrates the importance of friendship and the expressive power of art.
Bob the artist is feeling sad. His friends rally around him to help him through his blue period.
When Bob's best friend Bat goes away to hibernate, Bob can't help but feel sad. Everything he paints is blue - a blue banana, a blue tree, and even a blue orange. Bob's friends start to worry that Bob's blue period might last forever. But then they have an idea...
They wake Bob up early one morning and tell him there's something he must see. A spectacular sunrise, glowing with all the colours of the rainbow, fills Bob's world with colour again, just in time for Bat's return.
