This book is about the history of blue starting in ancient egypt and to current day. This book would be good for K-3. This book would be a great read aloud to get students questioning about where our colors come from.

This book is about the deep history of the color blue. From how it was found and made to expressions we now use to describe how we feel. Talking about how different cultures found ways to make it and how rare and valuable it once was.

This book would be good for intermediate students. This book is "Blue: A History of the Color as Deep as the Sea and as Wide as the Sky" by Nana Ekua Brew-Hammond, illustrated by Daniel Minter, and published in 2014. This book Is the history of the color blue. The color blue was found long ago and was used in many different cultures and was a very extraordinary color that only very wealthy people used. Blue then became a very affordable common color, but the feelings that correspond with the history of the color blue are still relevant. I think this book would be helpful to share to kids that want to learn about history and how a common thing that we see everyday has a lot of meaning behind it… (more)
