One by Kathryn Otoshi is a captivating book that tells the story of Blue, a quiet colour. Red, on the other hand, is a hothead who enjoys picking on Blue. Yellow, Orange, Green, and Purple see this happening but feel powerless to intervene.

When no one speaks up, the situation escalates—until One arrives. One shows all the colours how to stand up, stand together, and count.

As young readers explore the book, they will not only learn about numbers, counting, and primary and secondary colours, but also valuable lessons about accepting each other's differences. It illustrates how sometimes, it just takes one voice to make everyone feel counted.
