The Big Blue Spot is a book/poem about a blue spot in search of a friend. The spot interacts with the reader, looking and talking and responding. In the end, the blue spot finds a yellow spot and where they overlap, they make green.

Although a simple story, The Big Blue Spot has some deeper themes. Everyone wants a friend, and to belong. Belonging is one of the five pillars of reality therapy. This story demonstrates in a simple progression, the search for another. As long as the blue spot stays put, it will never find a friend. Only by moving forward, through the book, does the spot find a friend.

The story also demonstrates how two people, in this case blue and yellow, can combine to create something new (green). Neither of them loses their own identity. Instead, in a Venn-diagram like drawing, their commonalities overlap adding a new color to each of them. By celebrating the diversity of each other, and the commonality of each other, the two can become united.
