From the author of the bestselling phenomenon The Invisible String, comes a transformative tool for all ages to move through sadness and embrace life's colours.

Jackson has always been chock-full of joy and vibrant colours. But now his joy has dimmed and his colours are fading. It happens so slowly at first that Jackson barely seems to notice. But without all his colours, he feels grey and empty inside. Until one day when someone offers a few words of advice that changes everything: Each day, look for one colour you see outside, and think about how it makes you feel.

Patrice Karst, author of the modern classic The Invisible String, shows readers how step by step, colour by colour, joy can return—and shine even more brightly than before—if we pay close attention to the world around us. Additional notes from Dr. Dana Wyss, PhD provide further guidance toward a path to recovery.
