Battle of the Colours

by Fiona Hill

First published 2013

Purple, Red, Green, Blue, Yellow, and Orange each believe they deserve the top spot. The colors spend their time in heated arguments, each making cases for their own importance. Purple boasts of royal robes and twilight skies. Red points to fire trucks and valentine hearts. Green claims the forests and growing things. Blue owns the oceans and endless sky. Yellow shines in sunshine and happy faces. Orange glows in autumn leaves and tiger stripes. Their debate grows louder as each color refuses to back down. Children can peek through special holes in the pages to watch the colorful confrontation unfold. The rhyming text carries readers through each color's passionate arguments. As the battle reaches its peak, young readers discover that the answer to which color reigns supreme has been right there all along. The resolution reveals something beautiful about how all colors work together in the world around us.
