Praise for the Book
"What a fun book to teach children the importance of team work! When
Violet was Blue is also a great book
to help children learn their colors. The author included some facts about
rainbows, along with some other wonderful activities for children, after the
story. I would highly recommend When
Violet Was Blue!" ~ 5 Star Review, Dana L., Amazon
"Deb Troehler’s children’s book, When
Violet Was Blue, will have children and adults alike smiling as they read
of Violet and her friends’ efforts to reach Cloud and scatter him. Troehler
also illustrated this book and her illustrations, especially her grumpy Cloud,
are just marvelous. Parents will appreciate the simple and beautiful way
Troehler explains how rainbows are made and how working together can help get
lots of seemingly impossible things accomplished. They’ll also love the science
facts, projects, and math games that are included in the back of the book. When Violet Was Blue is fun,
enlightening, and educational, and best of all, it does make one smile while
reading it." ~ 5 Star Jack Magnus, Readers’ Favorite
My Review
By Lynda Dickson
When a big cloud blocks the sun's rays, Violet starts to feel
"blue". She enlists the help of her colorful friends in an effort to
get the sun to shine again. But who will come up with the best solution?
This delightful rhyming picture book teaches us that by working together
we can achieve our goals. The story itself is followed by fun activities and information
on how a rainbow is actually formed. The kids will want to read this one again
and again.
About the Author
Deb Troehler has worn many hats over the years - teacher,
fabric artist, author, illustrator, gardener, mother, and grandmother. Although
each hat is unique, they are all stitched with a common thread - Deb’s
connections to her loved ones and the world around her.
Mrs. Troehler was a special education teacher for 15 years. After leaving
the classroom due to a recurrence of cancer, her family moved to West Michigan
to spend time with her husband’s family. To help make ends meet, Deb wrote
instructional material and stories for several trade magazines such as Doll
Crafter, Doll Reader, and Soft Dolls and Animals. Eventually, the
magic of West Michigan motivated Deb to put pen to paper and record the stories
inspired by her treks up and down the shores of Lake Michigan. When Violet Was Blue is Deb’s third book for children.
