Description

Many years ago, before the world bloomed in magnificent colours, the Earth lay stark and grey. The animals that graced its skies and roamed its lands were the colours of dirt, clay, and stone... until Rainbow descended to bestow her colours on the creatures of the world.

Each bird asked for a bright and beautiful colour: green for Parrot, red for Cardinal, and yellow for Canary. But will there be any colours left for little Gouldian Finch? He soon learns the power of patience and the beauty of all creatures.

Based on a Belgian folktale, this beautifully told and illustrated tale is a timeless treasure for every collection.

How the Finch Got His Colours by Annemarie Riley Guertin is an enchanting story that will captivate readers of all ages.
