The Many Colors of Friendship

Jan. 27, 2011 - PRLog -- Written and illustrated by Rita Kaye Vetsch, The Many Colors of Friendship is a unique story
about diversity that will enthrall young readers.

Luis is a new student in Katherine’s first grade class. But because he looks different than her, Katherine is afraid to talk to Luis and goes home feeling sad and confused.

In her dreams that night, Katherine finds herself in a jungle surrounded by colorful creatures. There she meets Sanjay, the purple emerald boa; Addie, a bright orange tree sloth; Sophie, the brilliant rainbow-colored toucan; and Chen, a giant ocean-blue panda bear.

At first, the jungle animals frighten Katherine, but they eventually help her to confront her fears, to explore their differences and to realize that friends do come in many different colors, sizes and shapes. When Katherine next goes to school, she talks to Luis and realizes how much they have in common. This begins a new friendship.
