Every day Jimmy takes 'Skinny Kid's' lunch at school. No way will
he be caught dead standing in that FREE LUNCH line. Even when he's
called into the principal's office, Jimmy just shrugs. "Yeah.
Whatever." Until a surprising act of kindness stops him in his
tracks. For a split second a door cracks open into Jimmy's heart.
Who knows? Maybe he'll just kick that door right open.

Blue is a quiet color. Red's a hothead who likes to pick on Blue.
Yellow, Orange, Green, and Purple don't like what they see, but
what can they do? When no one speaks up, things get out of hand -
until One comes along and shows all the colors how to stand up,
stand together, and count. As budding young readers learn about
numbers, counting, and primary and secondary colors, they also
learn about accepting each other's differences and how it sometimes
just takes one voice to make everyone count.

Zero is a big round number. When she looks at herself, she just
sees a hole right in her center. Every day she watches the other
numbers line up to count: "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 ...!" "Those numbers
have value. That's why they count," she thinks. But how could a
number worth nothing become something? Zero feels empty inside. She
watches One having fun with the other numbers. One has bold strokes
and squared corners. Zero is big and round with no corners at all.
"If I were like One, then I can count too," she thinks. So she
pushes and pulls, stretches and straightens, forces and flattens
herself, but in the end she realizes that she can only be Zero. As
budding young readers learn about numbers and counting, they are
also introduced to accepting different body types, developing
social skills and character, and learning what it means to find
value in yourself and in others.
