When The Sky Lost Its Colors
BY HENRY GILES & DEISY SUAREZ-GILES
Based on a true story of love, loss, and the colors that come back.
Inspired by Henry’s Fox 11 Los Angeles viral interview during the Eaton Canyon Fire
When the Sky Lost Its Colors is a true children’s story told through the real words of six-year-old Henry Giles after his family lost their home in the Eaton Canyon Fire.
First shared during a Fox 11 LA News interview with journalist Susan Hirasuna, Henry’s quiet observation — “It all lost its colors” — touched hearts across the country.
Through gentle storytelling, the book helps children process fear, loss, and change, while showing that love, family, and hope remain even when everything else feels broken.
