Reading guide
Start with this first volume, The Colour Monster, to establish the core colour-emotion connections. Additional series titles expand on specific feelings and situations.
The series follows the Colour Monster as he awakens in a jumble of feelings he cannot understand. With help from a caring little girl, he learns to recognize, name, and separate each emotion by associating it with a colour. This foundational act of sorting and labeling sets the stage for later books that explore individual emotions and new experiences in greater depth.
