A Color of His Own, by Leo Lionni, is a wonderful book about finding an identity and developing positive relationships.As we follow the sad, lonely chameleon on his journey, we also explore. Leo Lionni, children's book creator extraordinaire, author of such beloved picture books as Frederick, Alexander and the Wind-Up Mouse, Swimmy, and Inch by Inch, all Caldecott Honor winners, introduces color concepts in an exquisite and touching story. It isn't until he befriends another older, wiser chameleon that our hero begins to find inner peace, even as his outer surface is transformed again and again. He thinks, 'If I remain on a leaf, I shall be green forever, and so I too will have a color of my own.' Of course, what he doesn't take into account is the changes wrought by autumn, and soon the green chameleon is yellow, then red, and then tumbled to the ground for the long black winter night. In the heather they are purple.' One chameleon is not pleased with his changeable appearance. 'Parrots are green, elephants are gray, pigs are pink.' But chameleons change color wherever they go.
