"Time for bed," Mama says,

"and I've brought flowers for your room."

"I can only sleep in a blue room," says Alice.

"Blue is my favorite.

And those—

aren't—

blue."

"Ah ... but smell," Mama says.

In a blue room,

lilacs and lilywhites

give off a gentle scent.

Alice twirls around,

plops down,

and breathes deep.

Mama returns with a steaming cup.

"Would you like some tea?"

"Blue tea?" says Alice. "There's no such thing."

Mama says, "Just taste."

In a blue room,

orange tea

cools in a brown cup.

Alice takes a sip,

then rubs her drowsy eyes.

Mama brings an extra quilt.

"It's silky-soft and warm."

"It isn't blue," Alice says.

Mama whispers, "Touch."
