Author/illustrator Fiona Robinson’s Bluest of Blues is a gorgeous picture book biography of botanist and photographer Anna Atkins—the first person to ever publish a book of photography.
An ALSC Notable Children’s Book
A Junior Library Guild Selection
A Bank Street Best Children’s Book of the Year
After losing her mother very early in life, Anna Atkins (1799–1871) was raised by her loving father. He gave her a scientific education, which was highly unusual for women and girls in the early 19th century.
Fascinated with the plant life around her, Anna became a botanist. She recorded all her findings in detailed illustrations and engravings, until the invention of cyanotype photography in 1842. Anna used this new technology in order to catalogue plant specimens—a true marriage of science and art. In 1843, Anna published the book Photographs of British Algae: Cyanotype Impressions with handwritten text and cyanotype photographs. It is considered the first book of photographs ever published.
Weaving together histories of women, science, and art, The Bluest of Blues will inspire young readers to embark on their own journeys of discovery and creativity.
“The beautiful blue toned illustrations of this book give it a dream-like quality . . . This book will serve as a great introduction to another wonderful woman in the science field.” —School Library Connection

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Perfect for My Suit-Loving 9-Year-Old 🤍👔✨
My 9-year-old is obsessed with suits, and this one was a total win! 😍 The 3-piece set (blazer, vest, and pants) makes him feel so grown-up and confident. The linen material is lightweight and breathable, which is perfect for warm weather ☀️ — and it doesn’t wrinkle easily, which I appreciate as a parent 🙌.
He loves that he can wear it different ways — full suit, just vest and pants, or blazer and pants. 👌 The fit looks sharp, and the adjustable waist is super helpful.
Perfect for weddings, school events, church, or any time he wants to dress to impress. 💙 Definitely a favorite in our house! 🎉

Adorable special occasion suit for boys
Size: 5, Color: Light Blue, Size: 5, Color: Light Blue
I ordered this 3-piece suit for my son and even though it’s currently a little too big for him, I couldn’t resist keeping it because it’s absolutely adorable! The quality really impressed me right out of the package. The fabric feels lightweight and breathable, which will be perfect for warmer weather, and it has a nice polished look without feeling stiff.
The set comes with a blazer, vest, and pants, and each piece is very well made. I love the little details like the lapel on the jacket, the adjustable strap on the vest, and the adjustable waist on the pants, which will definitely help as he grows. It looks like a much more expensive suit than it actually is.
Even though my son will have to grow into it, I’m already excited for him to wear it. I’m thinking it will be perfect for Easter next year or any special occasion. It’s such a cute outfit, and I love that the pieces can be mixed and matched for different looks. Overall, I’m really happy with this purchase and can’t wait to see him wearing it! The blue color goes well for any occasion and I may have to order my husband a suit in matching shade of blue so they can be twins.
The size looks accurate for boys 5T. I took a picture to show the pants next to a pair of unwashed Oshkosh B’Gosh brand straight leg 5T boys denim jeans.
