About This Book
Reach for this book when your child starts noticing that different groups of people tend to stay in their own bubbles, or when they ask why some families look different from others. Arree Chung uses the metaphor of primary colors (Reds, Yellows, and Blues) to explore how segregation and prejudice can limit a community. The story follows what happens when a Blue and a Yellow fall in love and create something entirely new: Green. It is a vibrant, accessible introduction to the concepts of diversity, inclusion, and the beauty of a mixed society. Parents will appreciate how it simplifies complex social dynamics into a visual narrative that feels hopeful rather than heavy. It is perfectly suited for children aged 4 to 8 who are developing their sense of social justice and community identity.

Ideal Reader
A first or second grader who has noticed 'cliques' on the playground or a child in a multiracial or blended family who wants to see their family's origin story reflected in a whimsical way.
