Lila And The Day The Colors Disappeared: Appreciating beauty in everyday life

One morning, Lila wakes up and something is terribly wrong – the world has gone gray. The blue has left the sky, the red has vanished from the roses, and even the yellow sun has faded to white. But Lila remembers the colors, and she has an idea.

For ages 4-8, this is the book that turns color into something felt, not just seen. Parents reach for it when a child needs a reminder that their imagination matters – and that they have the power to bring brightness back into their own world. Teachers and art educators love it as a catalyst for creative expression, discussion, and hands-on art projects.

For gift-givers, it’s the perfect book for the little artist in your life – especially meaningful paired with a set of crayons or watercolors.
