The Blur

Description:

Meet a child with superhero-like abilities . . . and the parents who are racing to keep up with her in this sweetly funny picture book about the blur of childhood, from the award-winning creators of Drawn Together. A perfect gift to celebrate all of our special milestones--from graduations to birthdays and beyond!

From the very beginning, there was something different about this child... An ultrasonic voice. Fantastically elastic limbs. Super-magnetic powers. But it wasn’t until the child took her first steps that she became: THE BLUR!

Nothing can stand in her way as she takes the world by storm: always on the move and darting into danger! All too soon, she is zipping through the days, and zooming over the years… 

Framed as an origin story, here is a fun superhero romp for kids, filled with bold and bright illustrations, that will pull at the hearstrings of every parent.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Read for All Parents

C.W. · June 2, 2022

This is a must read for all parents, especially parents of graduating seniors. I read this at the library and then purchased a copy for some friends with a senior this year. Of course, I love picture books and "feelings" books so this was perfect.

I wasn't expecting this book to be as cute as it is! I am using it as a book that will be filled with messages from all of my daughter's teachers throughout her school years and will be surprising her at her graduation! It is well written, simple, and touching!

This book is for both the adult and child! For kid’s it is fun to read and act out, plus the illustrations are fantastic. For the adult, no story has ever hit so close to home. It really is a blur!

In my classroom we do a book tournament. This year we picked 16 of the top books from 2022. The Blur came out on top! Such a sweet book and the kids loved to look at the changes through the pictures. It also made my associate and I get a bit teary eyed. Highly recommend!!
