“But Im different here. Im neither red nor nor orange nor yellow nor blue...“

I would use this book in my classroom to introduce colors and acceptance. The book starts out with two characters. One character is yellow and the other one is blue. At first, these two characters are only familiar with their colors. However, as the book progresses, new characters with new colors are introduced. The green character thinks he can only play with other green characters. But he soon learns that he can play with everyone.

This book uses color to coney meaning. Each page in the book shows a new color. It starts out with blue and yellow, and as the book goes on all the colors are introduced.

This book helps to send the message to children that everyone belongs! That there are not specific qualities that one must possess in order to fit into the world in which they live. It puts no parameters on what a child is capable of being and or becoming.

Within the first few pages of the story the illustrator uses only the colors blue and yellow to construct their illustrations referring to the only two “kinds“. As the book progresses the illustrations became more abstract in the use of varying lines, shapes, and colors indicating the importance of inclusion.
