Vincent wants to paint his house, but each creature claims it as theirs, demanding a different color. A spider wants red, a caterpillar yellow, a beetle purple, and a bird blue. With a palette overflowing with options, Vincent must find a way to satisfy everyone. Can he blend creativity and compromise to make them all happy? Discover how Vincent's artistic flair and a nod to a famous painter lead to a colorful resolution in this charming tale of friendship and harmony.

From the publisher

Vincent is ready to paint his house–but what color should it be? He starts painting it white, but the spider says it’s his house, and he likes red. The caterpillar says it’s his house and he likes yellow. The beetle likes purple, and the bird likes blue. Each color introduces a new variety of vibrant shades, filling Vincent’s palette with too many options. But, creative genius that he is, Vincent finds a way to make everyone happy! Blending his signature cartoonish style with the textures and color choices of a certain post-impressionist Vincent, Tedd Arnold has created a simple story about friendship and compromise which is also a quiet, charming introduction to one of the most famous painters of history.
