This simple book offers a very powerful message, using colors as characters in a story about true friendship and bullying. A plain blue circle wishes he had some of the more exciting traits of his friends. He is timid and gets bullied by the mean red circle, who makes blue feel unhappy with himself. Blue’s friends remain kind to him, but they fail to do the right thing and stand up to red. When blue wants to give up, the number one comes along and changes everything. He brings all the nice color circles together and stands up for little blue. Everyone learns a lesson from this simple story about being nice and doing what’s right, even if that may not be the popular thing to do.
