Because how did one explain the gray canvas I was trapped in?
Ethan was born into a world of black and white a medical condition known as monochromatic vision, but with one exception—he can see the color green. After moving from the Colorado countryside to New York City, Ethan struggles to adjust to the busy and colorless atmosphere.
When encouraged to join a local art contest by his grandfather and a peppy bookworm named Sophie, Ethan considers it. But when the bullies at school get a hold of his sketchpad, and make fun of his colorless art, Ethan wonders if he has anything worth sharing at all. Because how could anyone understand the gray canvas of his life?
THAT PREMISE IS SO FASCINATING. An MG contemporary novella with artsy vibes and a main character who has monochromatic vision? 🎨
Uhh, yes please!! 💖

This looks like such a neat book! I love how simple and “Middle Grade” the cover is. ❤ Monochromatic vision sounds like a very interesting condition.
