This is a great story about a little red shed that discovers one morning she isn't the same as she used to be. Feeling left out among the other shed's she sets out on the ocean and befriends a wonderful new friend that compliments her new found differences instead of poking fun at her. She then heads home with a new found confidence and the other shed's realize how lovely she looks now and they too want to look different from each other. We loved this book! It's rythmic prose and deep meaning of the importance of celebrating our uniqueness are perfectly brought to life by the fun, bright illustrations.

Was so happy to find out that one of my favourite artists Adam Young was illustrating a children's book. I love his paintings, which are so vibrant. The team of Adam and Jennifer Young have written a lovely sweet story that is so appropriate for these times. Any child or child-at-heart would love to have this in their library.

When a little white shed turned red, all her friends rejected her. She sadly floated away on the sea, and while out there she learned how beautiful her difference really is. She decided to be bold about who she is. Nice story about acceptance of oneself and others. Lovely illustrations.
