Colin the Chameleon

Age range 3+

The finalists of the 2018 Foreword INDIES Book of the Year Awards.

At first, Colin is dismayed by his differences - but eventually he learns just how valuable his quirks can be.

This is a gorgeous picture book that tells the story of a chameleon who, unlike his siblings, cannot change colour and therefore faces certain dangers. Eventually, Colin finds that it is this very difference that makes himself special and helps keep his family safe from a greater threat.
