Apollonas is a little boy who loves painting... He takes the paints and paints everything... Only he mixes the colors... He paints the clouds green, the sea yellow, and the bananas blue... As soon as the paints are left alone, they hold a meeting to find a solution and split into groups... But since they can't agree, they end up in a peculiar "war"... Suddenly, the door opens and Apollonas enters his room... And then, everyone understands why there is this wonderful color confusion after all...

Since I was little, I loved painting! This love, I now try to pass on to my children... As soon as I opened the book to the first page and saw the colorful scribbles, I immediately thought of their first drawings, which I considered masterpieces.

A beautiful children's book with a twist ending, which at least for me, created a pinch in my heart. It was something I truly did not expect... I admit I didn't get it from the start...

After we read this book with my children, we discussed the value of colors in our lives, as well as how it would seem to us, for example, if frogs were pink!

Also, about the freedom of expression through art and the way unlimited human imagination can be captured on paper or canvas.

In the end, there is no right or wrong way to use colors... Everything is subjective, especially if you see them from the perspective of a person who has vision problems!

But is Apollonas blind or does he have something like color blindness? And if he is blind, how does he see and paint? How does he know the colors? Can people with vision problems paint? I got a little confused with all this, which is not at all clear in this particular book...

Reading the title, I expected all the pages to be full of sketches with bright colors. For there to be a color explosion... There are colors, but not as I had imagined.

A phrase that stayed with me from the book is: "Maybe it doesn't matter so much what color someone paints each thing!"

What matters is to keep doing what you like, in this case to keep painting, even if the colors don't match perfectly.

Everyone needs color in their life, even if they can't see it clearly... I wonder what our world would be like if everything around us was black and white? Probably dull and boring...
