About The Book

Colouring is fun! Colouring is great! As long as you keep your crayon on YOUR side of the paper...

Abit of red here. A bit of red there. A bit of red... HEY! You're colouring on my side! This bit of the book is for BLUE.

So begins a colourful squabble that takes an unexpected turn - with a funny, feel-good ending!
