CHAPTER 1

My dad's life was full of color. Every day, clouds smiled at him and trees waved hello. We went walking together. We saw green hills snoozing in the afternoon light and bright flowers singing to the sun.

But one day, Dad was full of sadness, all the way to the top. He said his sky had turned gray.

I thought I had done something wrong, but he told me I hadn't.

Soon every day became a sad day for Dad. He only saw the sun sulking, clouds frowning, rain crying. We didn't go walking. We didn't do anything together anymore.

Outside, the trees stood silently, shaking their heads. Dad stayed inside and looked out the window.

He said that if he went out, the lampposts would laugh at him or the streets would call him names.

I thought I had done something wrong, but he told me I hadn't.

He said that all the colors were gone. Someone had stolen them away; just taken them one by one. He said he felt sad and stuck, like a marble in a bottle.
