About This Book
Leo Lionni's classic tale, A Color of His Own, follows a chameleon who feels unique because he lacks a fixed color, unlike other animals. He tries to solve this by staying on a green leaf, only to find it changes with the seasons. His true discovery comes when he meets another chameleon, realizing that sharing experiences and having a friend is more valuable than having a specific color. This board book edition is perfect for introducing young children (ages 3-7) to simple color concepts while gently exploring themes of identity, self-acceptance, and the profound importance of friendship.
