“One” is a story about a blue dot by Kathryn Otoshi and illustrated by her as well.

 

Blue is a blue dot. There are other dots with other colours. Blue was envious of the other colours but Blue is happy with his appearance. But then there was Red. Red was very mean to Blue. Other colours like Yellow, told Blue that he was a nice colour, but they wouldn’t say it in front of Red. Then a gray colour came. He was shaped as a 1. He told funny jokes and made the other colours laugh. Red didn’t like that at all. He told the colours to stop laughing and they did. But 1 didn’t. 1 stood up to Red. Then, all of the other colours turned into numbers. Red hated that so he went and picked on Blue. Red got bigger and bigger and bigger. He was about to run over Blue then all the other colours stood up for him. Then Blue stood up for himself and became number 6. Red got really, really small and rolled away. But then, Blue offered him a place in the group. Then Red became number 7.

 

This story was really good. It had a good morale as it said to stand up to for your friends and yourself if you’re being bullied.
