Description:

Children, Parents and teachers alike will cherish this quest for colour and self discovery. In Caterpillar’s Colour Quest, a plain little caterpillar sets out on a quest of self-discovery. He discovers the primary colours, but being a little cheeky, rejects the gifts of colours he is given and sets off to find ‘something different’. Eventually with the help of wise Ms. Rainbow, the little caterpillar comes to realize that the multitude of colours he seeks is already within him (the primary colours that he had already been given) and that he must take these gifts to create the new colours he seeks and become a beautiful butterfly. Caterpillar's Colour Quest is also a lesson on colour mixing and a great resource for any primary teacher. A lesson plan is available as a companion to the story.
