A Color of His Own by Leo Lionni
3.0

Upset that he doesn't have a colour of his own, a little chameleon searches for an answer to his problem and, more importantly, how he can fit in with all the other animals. Having isolated himself from others because of this difference, his finds his answer in discovering that someone else is the same as him. It's an interesting book but I wonder if it celebrates social segregation rather than acceptance. Food for thought and I can't dismiss how much I like Lionni's watercolours.
