Blue is a quiet color. Red's a hothead who likes to pick on Blue. Yellow, Orange, Green, and Purple don't like what they see, but what can they do? When no one speaks up, things get out of hand -- until One comes along and shows all the colors how to stand up, stand together, and count. As budding young readers learn about numbers, counting, and primary and secondary colors, they also learn about accepting each other's differences and how it sometimes just takes one voice to make everyone count.

Reach And Teach says:

A school librarian at the 2009 Reading the World conference held up a copy of this book from our table and exclaimed to a friend "This is absolutely THE greatest children's book! Every kid should have a copy."

The team here at Reach And Teach loves this book! Beyond the great lessons about how to deal with someone who is being a bully, this is one of the rare children's books that doesn't promote the myth of redemptive violence - where the bullied finally come together and beat up on the bully. Here, those who were bullied end up embracing the one who caused them pain! What a great lesson.
