Description

Red loves being red! Sometimes, he's too focused on red. Through the unconditional kindness of the other colors, he sees that he is part of a whole, and the best things come from working together.

Red loves being red! Apples, wagons, fire trucks--he thinks all the best things are red! Yellow admires Red's roses, but Red just wants to be left to mind his own business--why can't Yellow mind hers? But when Yellow and Blue go off to make frogs, shamrocks, and caterpillars, Red realizes that he may be missing out. The possibilities are endless when the colors work together!

Includes a Note to Parents and Caregivers with more information on encouraging empathy and cooperation.

Reviews

"Fans of Amy Krouse Rosenthal and Tom Lichtenheld's Friendshape (2015) or Michael Hall's Perfect Square (2011) may find this title complementary...comes with a potentially useful note to adults on how to use the book to promote self-esteem and forgiveness. Color science and emotional literacy..." --Kirkus Reviews

"Going beyond the relationship between red, yellow, and blue as colors, there is an equally significant exploration of the relationship between Red, Yellow, and Blue as sensitive, feeling characters. As the story progresses, Red experiences a wide spectrum of feelings, including worry, frustration, annoyance, and later a sense of belonging and pride. The deeper layers to the story will encourage emotional exploration and prompt discussion with older children... Perfect for social and emotional learning, this picture book cleverly melds life lessons with an introduction to the primary colors." --School Library Journal

"This book helps children navigate the balance between knowing what is their business and how they can cooperate with others. Great for a friendship and art lesson combined." --Oregon Coast Youth Book Preview Center

"This is a wonderful book about teamwork, acceptance, kindness, forgiveness, self-esteem and emotions." --Storywraps
