Reds love red. They love nothing more than singing praises of themselves and agree that red is the best thing to be..until some yellows appear who are just as convinced that they are the best thing ever. Add some blue to the mix and chaos arises as they squabble and make rules to avoid each other. Then some more ‘differents’ appear and it gets harder and harder to enforce the rules…
This story told in few words, in a very simplistic text, with bold, striking characters. It relays a simple, subtle message of live and let love. It suggests to children that you can be of any cast, creed, race, size, or colour and still have a voice because you are different, unique, and therefore amazing. It’s that simple.
