We read a delightful book by Leo Lionni called A Color of His Own.  This book is about a little chameleon who notices that he does not have a color of his own like other animals.  The chameleon is sad because he is always changing color depending on where he is standing.  Finally, the chameleon finds a friend who teaches him that is OK to be different.  We loved the message that our insides count more than our outsides.

The children created these images in response to the art work in the story.  We used the technique of crayon resist and watercolors.
