It teaches conflict resolution through appreciating and accepting differences respectfully, changing old patterns, asking for help and working together. This story can be read to very young children, who can be taught name, color and letter recognition as well as beginning sounds, rhyming and counting skills. For example, they can find and count all the V¿s on the violet stripe, identify their name as the heroine/hero on every page and discover hidden family and friends on every stripe.

They will learn that we are all the same inside and that it is our unique colors which make us special.When customized, this story becomes a treasured gift for the whole family. The child is the star; and his/her parents, grandparents and up to seven additional relatives or friends are immortalized. A personalized dedication may be written for the recipient and will appear on the cover page. The positive life-long messages are ones that most people would hope to pass down. As the child matures, this progressive book will grow with your child revealing new discoveries and more impactful lessons, leading to years of enjoyment.
