Description

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.

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

"Laugh-out-loud fun. Prospective ninjas, take notice!" --School Library Journal, starred review

Ninja! Attack of the Clan:

"Chung (Ninja!, 2014) returns with a second comic-book-style tale about lovable, freckled-faced ninja Maxwell. . . . A clever, laugh-out-loud story." --Kirkus Reviews, starred review

Out!:

"A bouncy nighttime blend of easy graphic novel and almost-wordless picture book." --Kirkus Reviews

"Chung puts a multiracial family at the center of this suburban adventure, the spare text rewards new readers, and his cartooning makes the characters familiar and approachable." --Publishers Weekly
