Chronicles of the Colorblind

Explore a world where emotions paint the world specific colors and heroes must use that try to fight Endless Blackness.

This bundle contains a collection of related short stories (fairy tales the length of book chapters) about basic colors and emotions.

It's part of the fun and educational stories written for The Wayward Melody.

The stories can be read standalone, but it's highly recommended to just read them in order and see the bigger story! It can be read to children aged 4/5 to explore basic colors and emotions. It can also be read by older children who can appreciate the deeper meanings and context.

All these stories take place in Rainbow World, which is infused with a strange magic. The land is painted by your emotions. Angry? Your home is suddenly red. Sad? The baguette in your hand is suddenly blue.

At first, you might think this is fun and joyful. But there's a catch. The colors need to stay balanced. We need all the colors, not just one or two. If the land ever contains creatures that all have the same emotion ... all color is lost forever and we enter Endless Blackness.

And let's just say that our story starts off with the world being very close to this disaster.

These stories are a mixture between fun magic and action, as explained, but also much deeper meaning and lessons. That's why it has a somewhat lofty title for a children's book, and that's why we really recommend taking the time to read the whole thing and talk about its themes and messages. There are no literally colorblind characters in this story, but figuratively speaking ...
