One has won over 15 awards, including the E.B. White Read Aloud Honor. In this book about colors and numbers, the true message is about bullying. Red is a hot head that picks on blue. None of the other colors stand up for blue, until the day 1 appears. The number 1 stands up to red. The turning point of the story is summed up in the following quote. “One turned to the colors and said, “if someone is mean and picks on me, I, for One, stand up and say, No.” Yellow says, “Me two!” and transforms into the number 2. This gives the other colors courage to be brave and count also. Everyone stands united against Red, until Red has a change of heart and transforms into 7. One teaches us that EVERYONE counts! Otoshi’s third book Zero is about self-esteem.
