Red Snake Blue Snake cover

Red Snake and Blue Snake have been friends since they were small, but that doesn't mean they see things the same way.

When Red Snake says the sky is grey, Blue Snake insists it's blue. The cactus looks just like a ghost—or a mitten. With so much to debate, can the snakes stay friends?

The two stubborn reptiles start their morning with a little yoga, watch the clouds, bicker about this and that, narrowly escape being captured by a snake charmer, and end the day very nearly agreeing on something.

Tallec's knack for high comedy is a highlight of this bright story that reminds us how opposite points of view can be equally true.

"Red Snake Blue Snake never asks its friends to become more alike. Instead, it quietly shows that a lifetime of paying attention to another person can make difference itself a form of intimacy."—Mat Tobin


"In this tale of a complicated friendship, these two titular snakes may seem similar, but they can also be massively different personalities. As such, the book really leans into the idea of different perspectives."—Betsy Bird
