My Cold Plum Lemon Pie Bluesy Mood — Tameka Fryer Brown

What color is your mood?

On a really good day, Jamie feels purple
like the first bite of a juicy cold plum.

And with a crayon in his hand, Jamie eases into a green feeling
like a dragon dancing through a jungle
made of green jello.

But when his brothers push him around and make fun of his drawings, Jamie feels gray
like a dark storm brewing.

What will it take to put Jamie back in a bright-feeling mood?

Through Jamie, young readers will learn to describe how they're feeling in a unique way.
