About this listen

What happens when the world’s sparkle decides to take a vacation? For Dave, every day is a masterpiece. He loves the fiery RED of his stop sign, the bright YELLOW of the happy sun, and the deep BLUE of the ocean. His best friend, Mark the playful puppy, is just as colorful! But one very grey morning, Dave wakes up and everything is... gone. His sunny sky is dull. His favorite strawberries look like grey pebbles. The world has turned into a giant, boring, black-and-white photograph! The Colors, tired of being taken for granted, have packed their bags and run away!

Join Dave and Mark on an incredible, monochrome adventure as they follow tiny clues, a sticky splash of faded ORANGE here, a whisper of worried PURPLE there, to the mysterious House of Hue. Can this boy and his faithful dog convince the dazzling, dancing Colors to come home before the whole world forgets how to smile?

A heartwarming story about friendship, adventure, and learning to appreciate the beautiful, vibrant world around us.
