True Colors

By: Mehta, Krisha

What if copying someone else's colors made your own fade away?

In a warm, lively art studio where every tool has a story to tell, Penny the Paintbrush creates beautiful works filled with history, rhythm, and meaning. Her art stands out-and everyone notices.

Everyone... including Sunny the Sponge.

Longing to shine just as brightly, Sunny secretly copies Penny's designs. At first, the praise pours in. But something isn't right. His colors begin to fade, his art loses its spark, and Sunny realizes too late-true creativity can't be stolen.

With patience and kindness, Penny helps Sunny discover something even more powerful than imitation: understanding. Together, they create a one-of-a-kind masterpiece that blends their talents into something bold, respectful, and full of life.

True Colors is a heartfelt story about friendship, creativity, and respecting the stories behind art and culture. Perfect for readers ages 8+, this book encourages young readers to celebrate what makes them unique-while learning to appreciate others. Because as Mother Canvas says, "Art without a story is just a stain."
