This gorgeous celebration of the color blue and the indigo plant, by a Korean American debut artist and storyteller, powerfully connects art and the natural world. With lavish mixed-media art including watercolor painting and hand-dyed textiles, debut author-illustrator Rosa Chang pays tribute to the science and art of growing the indigo plant and making indigo dye. Woven throughout is a poetic tribute to the color blue, Chang's favorite since her girlhood in Korea, and an appreciation of the indigo plant as a valued source of blue dye in cultures around the world. Informative back matter tells more about the science behind indigo dye production, with an "indigo map" of the shades of blue produced by indigo around the world, and simple instructions for growing your own indigo plants and making homemade blue dye.

Alongside Rosa’s true story, learn about the rich history of indigo, how indigo dye is made, and what indigo means to Rosa and her friends — plus much more. As well as sharing the love of indigo, the book also touches upon how indigo was “often fought over” and how it was a symbol of exploitation in the United States, noting the importance of remembering this “pain” alongside the “joy”. At the back of the book, young readers can learn more about indigo, as well as discover more information about the plant species, Jjok (sometimes known as Japanese indigo) at the centre of the story. There is also a section dedicated to making your own indigo dye and an “Indigo Shade Map” highlighting how indigo is used around the world. This is a beautifully illustrated book that honours heritage, celebrates indigo and is sure to inspire an appreciation of the craft.
