I received an arc of this book in exchange for an honest review.

A truly lovely book that adults and children alike would benefit from reading. When I was in school, and even now, we often hear of teachers who refuse to listen to students that might correct them. In this book the teacher listens instead of being stuck on adamantly admitting their assumption is incorrect. The student ends up teaching them and in the end they see that perhaps they'd closed off their mind to the possibilities. There's a valuable lesson here about how adults, especially at times those who become teachers, often stop seeing things and become rigid in their ways. When a student then corrects them? You hear horrible stories about them punishing the child or making fun of them in front of their classmates, etc. In this book, the teacher doesn't behave in this manner and instead learns something beautiful from their student. I loved that so much.

The art itself is lovely. Given the importance color plays in this story, it's nice to see how the color comes through in the illustrations. I was pleased to see that it shows that the sky isn't always blue cause as a kid I used to think about that too whenever teachers, especially art teachers early on, would insist on encouraging blue for the sky. The sky is full of so many colors at different times and in different weather, and the illustrator did a great job showing that in this book.
