Roxie loves her parents, but other people can seem to see past the fact that they are blind and they don’t really see Roxie, either. To them, she’s just the girl with the blind parents. So when her family moves to a new town and Roxie starts seventh grade at a new school, she’s determined to be known for the other parts of who she is: an artist, an animal lover, and the kind of person who bakes cookies for people she cares about for no special reason. But that means keeping her parents’blindness a secret from the kids at school and definitely not telling anyone that she might inherit the eye condition that caused her mother’s vision loss’at least until they get to know her.
For a while, Roxie is happier than she’s ever been. But when her lies and omissions lead to a visit from Child Protective Services, will Roxie find the courage to be fully honest with her friends, her parents, and herself? This heartfelt depiction of a girl establishing her own identity, with some chapters told from the perspective of her mother’s loyal guide dog, is an authentic portrayal of the joys, challenges, and everyday ordinariness of being raised by parents who have a disability.

An energetic and thoughtful story highlighting the experiences of the blind community.——Kirkus Reviews
Debut authors Cervenka and Debrovner craft an empathetic tale. . . . Thoughtfully designed, the book is typeset in Atkinson Hyperlegible, a font developed to support low-vision readers, reinforcing the novel’s themes of accessibility and inclusion.——Publishers Weekly
Equally good for readers curious about blindness or grappling with familial embarrassment.——Booklist
I rate this book orange yellow something that will make sense to you once you enter Roxie’s unique and relatable world. I loved Roxie and her family and friends and Nash the dog so much and bet you will, too.——Gayle Forman, New York Times bestselling author of Not Nothing and Frankie & Bug
Roxie in Color is a stirring story about a girl trapped between loyalties to her family and her desire to be seen as herself, free from stereotypes or labels. There is much to love here: the insights into blindness, the courage of the characters to face hard choices, and the delightful dual points of view (haven’t we all wanted to know what guide dogs are thinking?). In Roxie in Color, Debrovner and Cervenka have crafted a touching tale that is sure to broaden horizons, inspire conversations, and appeal to middle-grade readers everywhere.——Megan E. Freeman, New York Times bestselling author of Alone and Away
This beautiful story of intimate family life with blind parents shows us that while disability may be a challenge, a far bigger challenge is how the world treats you because of it. Roxie’s keen awareness of this, her yearning for friendship and understanding, touched me deeply. I was rooting for Roxie from page one. I can’t recommend this book highly enough.——Sally J. Pla, Schneider Family Book Award winning author of The Fire, the Water, and Maudie McGinn
A moving, resonant story about family and friendship, Roxie in Color will inspire readers with its sensitive, nuanced depiction of the challenges and triumphs of living with blindness.——Barbara Dee, author of Nothing to See Here
As a psychologist who specializes in caring for young people, I’m blown away by how skillfully Roxie in Color illuminates the emotional tensions of being in middle school. This brilliant, engaging book will without question resonate with readers everywhere.——Lisa Damour, PhD, New York Times bestselling author of Untangled
