"The Colors of Our Friends" is a thought-provoking children's book that tackles the important issues related to prejudice and racism. When a friendly alien from another planet comes to visit a group of creatures from a different planet, he refuses to integrate with them because they are not green like him. Despite the group of friends' efforts to welcome him with open arms, the alien can't seem to get past his own biases. Determined to show the alien that appearances aren't everything, the group of friends comes up with a plan to paint themselves green. As they transform their physical appearance, they begin to see the world from a different perspective and gain a deeper understanding of what it means to be different. Through their experiences, the alien learns that despite their newly adopted green color, the group of friends are still the same creatures he had come to love. With this newfound understanding, the alien and his new friends come to embrace their differences and celebrate their unique qualities.
