"Cornelius" by Leo Lionni tells the story of a chameleon named Cornelius who feels different from the other chameleons. While his peers blend in perfectly with their surroundings, Cornelius dreams of standing out. He experiments with new colors and ways to be unique, eventually discovering that the beauty of individuality is something to be celebrated. Through his journey, Cornelius learns about self-acceptance, creativity, and the importance of being true to oneself. The charming illustrations and thoughtful narrative make this book a timeless tale about finding one’s own identity in a world that often encourages conformity.
