readjusted if the text can be read even the motherly to introduce the themes of diversity and the discovery of colors. The colors are a nice metaphor for diversity, meeting and living together. And after the reading? try to break down the walls that divide us, leaving our footprints on a billboard using the finger painting .... fingerprints meet and overlap, the colors blend and merge them as a new color will be born?
How would living in a place where everything is only one color is always the same? boredom and monotony sooner or later spread, such as curiosity and the need to explore different perspectives. That 's what happens in this story about the encounter of different cultures through the tale of five kingdoms, one for each color: blue country where everything is the color of the sea, the land of red in which everything is Substance of Fire, the country where even the white shadows there because everything is white as milk, the country dominated by the black night and darkness and the country where everything is bright yellow and bright. Each country is divided by a high wall, and nobody knows about and has never met the inhabitants of neighboring lands. But one day in the land of the blue a big crack in the wall causes the inhabitants of the kingdom to dismantle it and make friends with the inhabitants of the town yellow. The lives of two kings and the inhabitants now seems less sad and more joyful and I decided to knock down all the walls to join the five countries. Broken down the walls that divide the diversity and reject any possible meeting, the multiplicity and the differences can come together, merge and thus create a world richer and more open to the possibilities of life and the discovery of the other.
