“One” written by Kathryn Otoshi this book is a children’s friendly book. The theme of this story is anti-bullying and to motivate others. This book is about this blue color who always loves floating on the ocean, he also enjoyed looking up at the blue sky. Blue always wished he could be sunnier like yellow, more like the other colors. But Red was a color that always teased and bullied Blue and made Blue not want to be the color Blue. Blues friends always encouraged him like he was such a good color but they never said stop or no to Red. Soon Red got so big and grew and everyone was afraid of him and Red picked on all the colors. Until Blue turned into One and had a different shape, now he was funny and made all the colors laugh. Red became mad so he rolled over to One and said stop laughing and One stood up to him and said no and then Red rolled away. So then all of the colors were no longer afraid of Red and they all turned into numbers. Red became scared and turned small. From there on the numbers, all stood up to Red. The message of this story is to all ways to be nice to anyone even if they are different from you. My thoughts on this story are I thought this was really meaning full because Red wasn’t being kind to Blue so he eventually stood up to him and solved the problem.
