Colouroos

Colouroos is a joyful story about difference, discovery, and unity. When red, blue, and yellow kangaroos all come to the same watering hole during a drought, they're unsure about each other at first. But as they mix, mingle, and play, a beautiful rainbow of friendships is formed. Perfect for teaching both colour theory and social harmony, Colouroos is a rich blend of fun and meaning. The engaging visuals and simple narrative make it ideal for storytime, art lessons, or diversity discussions.
