About this book
In the beginning there were just three colours: red, yellow and blue. Reds were the loudest, Yellows were the brightest and Blues were the coolest but they all lived harmoniously together… Until the day a renegade Red decides that ‘Reds are the best!’ and the colours divide to live in separate parts of the city.
When a cool Blue and a bright Yellow fall in love and create little Green, a completely new colour, will it be greeted with disapproval by the rest of the colour-world or might it serve as a blueprint for the restoration of harmonious cooperation?
A funny, vibrantly illustrated, allegorical tale that celebrates individual differences and talents and has an inspiring message about understanding, acceptance and peaceful co-existence.
