All of the kids at school stay away from “Bluish,” but when Dreenie and Tuli learn to see beyond her differences, they discover a true friend Ten-year-old Natalie is different from the other kids at her New York City magnet school: She is often absent, wears a knit cap, and uses a wheelchair. Her classmates have nicknamed her “Bluish” because her pale skin is tinted blue from chemotherapy. Dreenie is fascinated by and a bit frightened of Bluish—she watches her from afar and writes about her in her journal. As the school year progresses, Dreenie and her friend Tuli learn to see beyond Bluish’s differences and discover a fiercely independent, spirited girl who isn’t so different from them after all. But it’s not easy being friends with someone who’s sick, and Dreenie doesn’t always know how to act. Hamilton delivers a lesson of compassion and demonstrates the power of friendship to overcome even the most trying of situations.

Bluish Gooish Scary Thing By: Gina Anne A good friend takes time to get to know—even if they are bluish, gooish, and scary! Someone who is different does not mean they are not friend material. The only way to find out and conquer our differences is to get to know our new friends. Expressed with whimsical, nonsensical poetry, Bluish Gooish Scary Thing gives children permission to be silly while they navigate this strange (and sometimes scary) world.
