Leo Lionni - A Color of His Own

Color concepts, change, and friendship are all addressed in Leo Lionni's A COLOR OF HIS OWN. A young chameleon finds himself changing color wherever he goes, and longs for one beautifully permanent color. Finding a lovely green leaf and deciding to stay with it forever, he discovers that as the seasons change, so does the leaf. Meeting another chameleon helps him to understand exactly what is going on. Collage illustrations accompany the text.
