True Colors begins innocently with two friends, their dog, and their kite, but each time the story gets started, more colors seem to go awry. The narrator implores the reader to help as townspeople, a group of scientists, and the town tailor all try to determine what is going wrong. As the characters engage in comical attempts to reverse the colors, the two friends show us that colors can do all sorts of amazing tricks--with a little imagination. Gonðcalo Viana's bold, retro illustration style brings joy and laughter to all shapes, sizes, and colors."--Provided by publisher.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>A green cloud and a white tree?
