Help: Trying to find a book
I’m trying to add books to my wishlist I’ve created for Zoe’s library and there’s one book I can’t find.
I remember in elementary school there was a book that I read in the library. The illustrations started off in black and white and it was about a town with no color and a man came to that town and he brought paint. So he painted his house red and everyone else in the town wanted him to paint the town red but then red made their mood angry so then he painted his house yellow and then everyone in the town wanted him to paint everything yellow but then yellow made them moody and so on. I think one day he started mixing the colors together to get different colors other than the primary ones and pretty soon the town was all sorts of different colors.
Does this sound familiar to anyone?!
