Summary
With vibrant art that shifts to a colorless world and back again， this is a story of a community lost and rediscovered—and how one child’s actions can cascade into something that makes all the difference。
A young boy who loves his community notices that as neighbors stop interacting， the colors around them slowly fade。 Then a thunderstorm sweeps away the last hints of bluebird skies and lemon-Popsicle days and leaves a rift in the road that doesn’t get fixed。 As the adults around him move on， the boy dreams of the way life once was。 He decides that he doesn’t want to live in a world without color， so he sets out to change things…

Suddenly， the world loses all of its color。 It is up to a child to figure out what to do。 Clearly， a deeper message is lies in this story。 I wonder how many children will get it。

Lovely story about what can be gained by working togetherI loved the inclusiveness of all the people in this story and how one person can change the course of things。 It's a simple story about how people working together can make a difference when things are changed for the worse， proving that each positive effort made by everyone can benefit society as a whole。 Lovely story about what can be gained by working togetherI loved the inclusiveness of all the people in this story and how one person can change the course of things。 It's a simple story about how people working together can make a difference when things are changed for the worse， proving that each positive effort made by everyone can benefit society as a whole。 。。。more

Great symbolism This gives me hope。 Breathtaking pictures and a good way to talk to kids about racism and even covid 19

Cute book that gives a good reminder about working together with love and laughter。This was a cute book！ It had great visuals about why love and laughter are important in our lives and why the color of the world makes things so much more interesting。

In this story lies a call to action for young children: Never lose love and care for your community or risk the beautiful color embodying it。 Beautiful writing matched with lovely illustrations and a message for the hearts in need of sharing。4/5

How perfect for today's darkness！I almost started crying feel the darkness of our world where there is no color and lines are drawn。 Here's hoping the joy from working together colors our world again。 What a lovely hopeful book！ Thank you！ How perfect for today's darkness！I almost started crying feel the darkness of our world where there is no color and lines are drawn。 Here's hoping the joy from working together colors our world again。 What a lovely hopeful book！ Thank you！ 。。。more

Cute conceptArt and story are good and a clever way to make a coloring book。 The writing was a bit small for my little guy to read on his tablet which is the main complaint。 He liked the book but "didn't love it。" Cute conceptArt and story are good and a clever way to make a coloring book。 The writing was a bit small for my little guy to read on his tablet which is the main complaint。 He liked the book but "didn't love it。" 。。。more

This is another creative and "outside the box" picture book by this talented author/illustrator。 I enjoyed the universal theme of not only wanting to make things better for all， but stepping up and taking action。 One person can make a difference and inspire others to do their part too。 The metaphor of loss of color symbolizing loss of society caring for each other is one of the best I've ever encountered。 Bravo！ Highly recommended！ This is another creative and "outside the box" picture book by this talented author/illustrator。 I enjoyed the universal theme of not only wanting to make things better for all， but stepping up and taking action。 One person can make a difference and inspire others to do their part too。 The metaphor of loss of color symbolizing loss of society caring for each other is one of the best I've ever encountered。 Bravo！ Highly recommended！ 。。。more
