A Pocketful of Yellow

What happens when the brightest color in the world begins to fade?Some people collect seashells. I collect yellow. The color of dandelions pushing through sidewalk cracks, the soft glow of a porch light in the rain, and the bold streak of a school bus on a quiet morning. But lately, the gray shadows of growing up are stretching longer, threatening to swallow my bright, yellow collection whole. When a heavy, gray sadness settles over my town-and inside my own heart-I have to decide if the little bit of light I carry in my pocket is enough to paint the world warm again.Written in breathtaking, lyrical free verse, A Pocketful of Yellow is a deeply moving sensory experience that captures the authentic voice of a young girl finding her courage.Why Readers & Listeners Love It:Empowering SEL Themes: Gently explores anxiety, emotional resilience, and the quiet courage it takes to be yourself.A Captivating Audio Experience: Written with a natural, soothing rhythm that makes for a perfect bedtime read-aloud or an immersive listening journey.Universal Empathy: A relatable, authentic tween voice that validates big feelings and offers a hopeful path forward.Poetic Visuals: Rich, cinematic descriptions that make the imagination glow.
