大地是年轻的，充满了色彩。但动物们却黯淡无光。画家决定：必须做点什么! 画家的画笔一抹一扫，就画出了斑马的条纹，企鹅的时髦套装，鹦鹉身上一片片鲜艳的颜色。但是，他的颜料盒干了，他能给夜莺什么呢？荣获奖项谭雅·兰德曼和劳拉·卡林创作的故事，美丽而温柔动人。

A gorgeous and evocative story of how the animals got their colours, from Carnegie Medal winner Tanya Landman and V&A Illustration Award winner Laura Carlin.

The earth was young and full of colour. But the animals were dull and drab. The painter decided: something must be done! With dabs and sweeps the painter's brush creates the stripes on the zebra, the sharp suit of the penguin and the bright splashes on parrots. But what can he give the nightingale when his paintbox has run dry? A beautiful and gently moving tale from the award-winning Tanya Landman and Laura Carlin.
