Erik the Red Sees Green

32 pp. | Whitman | October, 2013 | Trade ISBN 978-0-8075-2141-0 $16.99
(3) K-3 Illustrated by David López. Erik discovers he's color blind after messing up at soccer (can't tell the practice bibs apart) and in the classroom (can't read the yellow chalk on the green board). Lots of interesting info on color-blindness is conveyed through the amiable story, and the illustrations do a good job of showing us how Erik sees the world. An appended note provides more facts about the disorder.
