About this listen

In the whimsical town of Chalkyville, where everything is drawn in chalk, the colors come alive and decide to take a joyful walk one sunny morning. Each color has its own personality, Red sports a cherry pie hat, Blue flies a kite, Green carries a pickle-and-pea sandwich, and Yellow dances in the breeze. Purple’s sneakers glow in the dark, and Orange bounces like a spark through the park. As they march through town, the colors bring laughter and life, painting puddles, scribbling the air, and even braiding a chair. Their playful parade is filled with singing, dancing, and vivid fun. However, their brightness catches the attention of cloudy old Gray, who warns them that too much color might scare people away. The colors pause, unsure if their joy has gone too far. But soon, laughter erupts and children flood the streets, begging for more color, more fun, and more joy. Inspired, the colors go all out, Red creates a slide, Blue enchants the fountains, Green grows a garden with vine swings, and Yellow teaches butterflies to accessorize. Even Gray can’t resist the magic. He slowly joins in, smiling for the first time in a while, painting his shoes and twirling in teal. From that day on, Chalkyville becomes a place of color, creativity, and celebration. Every morning, the colors gather for playful parades, and even Gray throws confetti with glee. The story is a joyful reminder of self-expression, inclusion, and the beauty of diversity.
