A Color of His Own by Leo Lionni
Leo Lionni is wonderful. This book is about a chameleon who is sad because he doesn't have a color of his own. He is constantly adapting to whatever color is around him. Finally after spending a long dark winter he meets a new friend. An older and wiser friend. This friend suggests that the two of them stay together and then together, even though they will keep adapting to their surroundings, the two of them will be the same color. And isn't that an elegant solution?
