Meet Sela Blue! She is an inquisitive, playful, and lively six-year-old girl growing up in her musical village of Chateauguay with her beloved family. Mom and Dad, also known as Mr. and Mrs. Blue to all of Sela's friends and neighbours, are her heroes. Their warm loving guidance are a hallmark of the series. Sela's charming sisters, Susie and Sophie, are the other two prominent protagonists throughout this multicultural series. The Blue sisters, whose names all begin with "S" and whose dresses always match, live out spirited childhood adventures just as ordinary children their ages, in a town where community and acceptance are the bridge to both fulfilment and happiness. The series, written in perfect rhyme, highlights Sela Blue's sense of determination, style, grace, and desire to be all she can be. Coupled with her bright animated character and cheerful disposition, the series portrays the charismatic essence of this everyday modern fictional girl. Reminiscent of such iconic and classical fictional characters as Madeline, Charlotte, Anne of Green Gables, and Petit Nicholas, Sela Blue is a female child protagonist of colour whose curiosity, quirkiness, and whimsical joie de vivre, will capture your heart and make you fall in love with this likable and most of all relatable young girl. Like Dr. Seuss books, reading Sela Blue ticks all the boxes when it comes to phonological development and awareness for children and prepares them to learn to read easily and naturally as they get older. Reading and talking with children about stories helps boost their literacy development. The Sela Blue series is vividly illustrated with each page filled with hidden details to encourage children to notice differences in the images that match the words, ultimately building vocabulary. While the first book in the series, "Sela Blue and the First Day of School" introduces the reader to Sela Blue, her family, and the musical village, where all the streets are named after famous classical composers, the second book "Sela Blue and the Magic Ticket" recounts the story of her adventure around the world through the bay window on 174 Wagner Steet. Sela Blue...life in every hue.

Join an imaginative and whimsical young girl named Sela Blue in her cozy home nestled in the charming town of Chateauguay. Finding no one with whom to play, Sela Blue sits by the bay window, the portal to her fanciful world, when she discovers a magic ticket! Sela Blue and the magic ticket conspire to create adventure on that snowy day. Where will the magic ticket take Sela Blue ...and where will Sela Blue take you?
