"A Color of His Own" by Leo Lionni tells the story of a chameleon who, unlike other chameleons, is unable to change his color. He feels lonely and seeks companionship. After meeting another chameleon, they share joyful experiences together, but when they part ways, the first chameleon returns to feeling lost. Eventually, he discovers that true friendship means accepting oneself and finding comfort in who you are. The story beautifully explores themes of identity, friendship, and the importance of being true to oneself, all illustrated with Lionni's charming artwork and gentle storytelling.
