One

One is a story written and illustrated by Kathryn Otoshi about a colour called blue who was very quiet. He enjoyed looking up at the sky and splashing at rain puddles. He always wished he had the properties of other colours, but he still liked himself, except when red was around. Red liked to tease blue and make him feel bad. Yellow came to comfort blue, but she never told red to stop picking on blue, which was the same with the other colours. Red got bigger when no one stood up to him, and he was then huge and teased all the colours. Then one came along. One had a different colour and shape than the others. Red got mad and told one to stop, but he wouldn’t, so red rolled away. Red was very hot and was even hotter. Red went to blue and teased him, but then blue became a six and withstanded it. Red tried to squish blue, but all the numbers stood up to him. Then the numbers where nice to him and he became a seven and everyone was happy. I would recommend this story to 6-9 year olds.
