Bookroo's summary

Harpreet Singh expresses his emotions through vibrant colors, each matching his mood and his carefully chosen patka. But when his family relocates to a snowy city, his colorful world fades to gray. Struggling with the change, Harpreet wonders if he can ever feel the warmth of sunny yellow again. As he navigates this new environment, will he find a way to bring color back into his life and embrace the unknown? Discover how Harpreet's journey unfolds in this heartwarming tale of adaptation and resilience.

From the publisher

Harpreet Singh has a different color for every mood and occasion, from happy sunny yellow to courageous red. He especially takes care with his patka–his turban–making sure it always matches his outfit. But when Harpreet’s mom finds a new job in a snowy city and they have to move, everything just feels gray. Can he find a way to make life bright again?
