I found this book a bit disjointed. I loved the girl's descriptions of colour, and how colour can change. However, the girl goes from playing with friends on one page spread, to sailing alone on a field of grass on the next; I thought I had missed a page. I loved her sprouting into a tree with her imagination but after several pages as the tree, I began to wonder if the girl was gone from the story? Once I finished reading the story, I went back and read it again, sure that I was missing a deeper meaning. I get that children can jump around from thought to thought, which may be what is happening here, but the adult in me wanted more.
I would have given the book a 2 star rating except for the beautiful illustrations.
