“Anything / not red seems wrong.”

“Turning” by Victoria Chang
THE TREES WITNESS EVERYTHING
“Turning In the fall, there are so many choices. Red and more red. Anything not red seems wrong. Let me tell You about green—how it’s really a spy, hiding under its garment of red, how it closed distances, taking notes on how to leave.” Book cover with five green leaves in a yellow background. Includes text: THE TREES WITNESS EVERYTHING, Victoria Chang.
