But in the autumn, the leaf changes from green to yellow to red . . . and so does the chameleon. A chameleon who sets off to find a colour of its own discovered the answer in a true friend, that companionship is more important than having a color of his own.

inspires the young mouse to pursue his dream of becoming an
artist.Review:"One of Lionni's familiar-looking mice lives in a junk-strewn
attic. When Matthew visits an art gallery, he is entranced. That night Matthew
dreams about walking hand in hand through 'playful patches of color.' He
awakens, his inspiration stays with him and he goes on to paint great things.
Lionni uses familiar collage and color techniques, but what colors! He employs
bright, rich hues that stand out smartly against white backgrounds."--
