Bookroo's summary

Gray feels left out by the vibrant colors and starts an all-gray book project. As he crafts his tale of a wolf, kitten, and hippo, unexpected visits from Primary and Secondary colors challenge his vision. Can Gray find harmony and appreciation in a world of diverse hues?

From the publisher

Gray just wants to be included. But the other colors are always leaving him out. So he decides to create his own project: an all-gray book. Once upon a time, there lived a wolf, a kitten, and a hippo…Gray just knows it’s going to be perfect. But as he adds page after page, the Primary and Secondary colors show up…and they aren’t quite so complimentary.A book within a book, this colorful tale explores the ideas of fitting in, appreciating others, and looking at things from another perspective and also uses personality and wit to introduce basic color concepts.
