Publisher's Synopsis
An Imaginative Tale of Art, Emotion, and the Power of Listening
What happens when the colors of the world get tired of being used, misunderstood, and ignored?
They quit.
The skies turn gray, the grass fades, and the world is left in silence-until Mila, a young artist with a heart full of imagination, discovers a note that sets her on a journey to bring the Colors back. But these aren't just colors-they're characters: bold, shy, angry, joyful, mysterious. Each one carries a voice, a feeling, and a truth the world has long forgotten.
In this heartfelt, 20-part adventure blending fiction, emotion, and subtle social commentary, Mila must learn not just how to use color-but how to understand it. One by one, she meets the Colors face-to-face, uncovering stories of burnout, invisibility, and healing. Together, they transform not just her town, but the way people see the world-and themselves.
Perfect for middle-grade readers, educators, and creative hearts of all ages, The Day the Colors Quit is a story about empathy, artistic expression, and reclaiming beauty with intention.
Because color isn't just what we see-
It's how we feel.
And when we learn to listen, color never truly leaves.
