Synopsis
Two tribes live peacefully on an island where only black and white exist—until a dramatic event results in the creation of two colors. This change completely transforms their lives, and, when a third color appears, both tribes set off on an adventure to claim this dazzling new treasure.

Reviews
Grade 1-3–Transparent symbolism and stereotypes abound in this long story about how color comes to a colorless island. A mountain divides an island, giving it two different climates and separating the two tribes that inhabit it. Although they are unaware of one another's existence, they are similar in appearance. They stand upright, have manes like horses, floppy or pointed ears like dogs, and lionlike tails. One night, a comet hits the mountaintop, sending blue down one side and red down the other. Each group takes on its newfound hue and enjoys a new, colorful life. Still the Tinters and the Shaders remain unaware of the other group until a beam of yellow draws them all to the summit. They meet and begin arguing over its ownership. During the argument a blue Shader falls into the pool of yellow and a red Tinter jumps in to save him. Eventually all the islanders assist in the rescue. When they climb out of the pool, their colors have mixed with yellow, and they are amazed by the magic. It spills over, and the tribes become friends. The illustrations flow with the story, from gray to blue and red, to a rainbow of color and inhabitants. While the illustrations are filled with color, this allegory lacks real color and magic.–Carolyn Janssen, Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County, OH
