A picture-book fable about division and belonging

Red, yellow, and blue begin in harmony, but a claim of superiority divides them. The colors’ separation gives the story a clear way to explore prejudice and the costs of treating difference as a reason to exclude. A yellow, a blue, and a newly emerging color are central to the possibility of change, while the book’s color-based premise connects ideas of acceptance and unity to a visual, child-friendly setting.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 exploring themes of prejudice, tolerance, and acceptance
  • Families and educators seeking a picture book that opens discussion about difference and unity

Book overview

★ "A colorful story about celebrating difference as complementary and transformative." --Kirkus Reviews, starred review

The reds, the yellows, and the blues all think they're the best in this vibrant, thought-provoking picture book from Arree Chung, with a message of acceptance and unity.


In the beginning, there were three colors . . .

Reds,

Yellows,

and Blues.

All special in their own ways, all living in harmony--until one day, a Red says "Reds are the best!" and starts a color kerfuffle. When the colors decide to separate, is there anything that can change their minds?

A Yellow, a Blue, and a never-before-seen color might just save the day in this inspiring book about color, tolerance, and embracing differences.
