She asks his name, and when he answers "Um, well ...," she dubs him Umwell the Gray, then leads him on an exploration of a world that is always new and beautiful to eyes that can see. This story is a celebration of the ever-present newness and change around and within us. Because newness is more readily discernible in nature than in human lives, the story relies on Purple's guidance through the natural world to build a bridge to William's inner world. Umwell the Gray can't see what Purple sees in a falling leaf, a cloud, a swirling stream, a tidepool. She is demanding, challenging, frustrating, but compelling. Though he doesn't understand her, he wants to be around her. Bit by bit the world comes to life for him, and as it does, Rebecca Evans's palette evolves from gray to multihued. At last Umwell becomes William, but a different William than he was before. He is a new boy, looking out upon a new world"-- $c Provided by publisher 650 0 $a Friendship $v Juvenile fiction. 650 1 $a Friendship $v Fiction. 650 1 $a Picture books. 650 7 $a JUVENILE FICTION / Social Themes / Emotions & Feelings. $2 bisacsh 655 7 $a Picture books. $2 lcgft 655 0 $a Children's stories. 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Juvenile works. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411637 700 1 $a Evans, Rebecca, $e illustrator. 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9780884489467 941 $a 5 952 $l RZPE145 $d 20230915010502.0 952 $l FQPC224 $d 20230829010612.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20230706010726.0 952 $l KXPA353 $d 20230620011706.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20230606011356.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7EDF4F0C042F11EE896B6DEA35ECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b LJWInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
