A Color of His Own
A Color of His Own
by Leo Lionni
Dragonfly Books 1975
From the Text, "The sad chameleon has a problem--unlike all the other animals, he has no color of his own."
This tale about a chameleon who changes colors and wants to different finds himself when he finds a friend in another chameleon. I love to have this book on hand when a conversation begins around any differences. It shares the beauty of differences, the sometimes sadness and one type of resolution in finding someone like himself to confide with. This book can also be used in a science unit around chameleons or colors.
