The Colorless Chameleon
She uses reds, yellows, greens, and blues to make herself heard. What will this young critter do when all her tints are taken?
Timid Chameleon feels sad. She's worried her friends don't appreciate her or pay attention when she says, "No." And when they take all her colors without giving them back, the poor thing loses her ability to express herself!
Now this little lizard that communicates with her colors is frustrated, because she can't tell anyone how she feels. And with the jungle party coming up fast, she and her friend Flamingo struggle with the right words to ask for her beautiful rainbow hues to be returned.
Can Chameleon find her voice and stand up for what she wants?
This delightful parable shows kids how to be assertive from an early age. It's a helpful companion resource to Habit 8 of the "Leader in Me" program, showing kids how to balance their own needs with those of friends.

March 3, 2021Even though this is a simple picture book, it instills the important message that children must use their words to be heard and understood. Heaven knows that gaining the courage and clarity of purpose to confront an uncomfortable situation and speak up when needed is a difficult undertaking even for many adults. So imagine how intimidating a task this could be for young children, and of course a little chameleon.
The writing is clever and simple, and allows children to relate to Chameleon’s dilemma. Also, the vivid illustrations by Samantha Jo Phan help children engage with the story and easily follow its theme.

Chameleon is very quiet, and doesn't speak up very much. She relies on her expressive colors to tell her friends what she is feeling, but sometimes they misunderstand. Elephant asks to borrow Chameleon's blue, and Lemur asks for red. Crocodile just takes Chameleon's yellow without even asking, but Chameleon doesn't know how to tell them no.
Chameleon confides in her friend, Flamingo, who encourages her to speak out and really tell her friends that she is not okay with giving away her colors. Chameleon gathers the courage to ask for her colors back.
I just loved this sweet book about speaking your mind with courage and standing up for your own boundaries. The story is told in such a simple and interesting way, but the message is deep and meaningful. Even if younger children might not understand the deeper message, they will still enjoy the fun story!
The illustrations are so bright and colorful! I love the cartoony art style and the cute characters. Every page is full of color and expression.

Great children's book
This book helped to show both my 7 and 10 year olds about even when you have little to always share. I thought the book had a great message and kept them entertained for the whole book. They asked questions I thought to be insightful and allowed for us to discuss the book's lessons while keeping it the moment. The second time through we each read a different character 's line which made it an even more enjoyable experience for my kids and myself.

It's awfully hard to learn to stand up to your friends, but once Chameleon gives away ALL her colors, she finds herself feeling sad and frustrated. As she learns to process her feelings, she discovers that she needs to balance her own needs with those of her friends. She now has to find her voice and get her colors back.
The illustrations in this book are just gorgeous. It's a fun picture book for kids 3-7.
