The Colours That Came to Be

Early Colour Learning & Imaginative Storytelling (Ages 3–7)

Is your child beginning to explore colours and curious about how new colours are made?

The Colours That Came to Be is a gentle, story‑driven introduction to colour mixing, designed to help young children understand how secondary colours emerge from the primaries. Through lyrical storytelling and expressive illustrations, children meet Purple the Genie, Orange the Phoenix, and Green the Elf, each born from the magical union of Red, Yellow, and Blue.

By blending narrative, nature imagery, and developmental principles, this picture book supports early learners in recognising colours, making connections to the world around them, and building foundational visual‑perceptual skills. Ideal for ages 3–7, it’s a warm, Montessori‑aligned resource for home libraries, preschool classrooms, and early years art exploration.
