[Ckorbakis · Rating 4 out of 5]

Great book for beginning of the year activities. The brother and sister are laughed out of their village because they are born colorful. They meet different animals along the way and ask them to live with them. The loud and tough tiger finally makes them realize who they are. The students sympathize with the children and can't seem to understand why they are being made fun of. A good book to bring back later when the students begin to bully or tease one another.
