Hidden Colors - written and illustrated by Sophie Devi
Imagine you wake up in the morning and everything around you is suddenly black and white. All the bright colors are gone in a flash and you have no clue why....
Exactly this happened to Lulu the little fox. She seemed to be always happy and with a lot of energy to jump and play around, but after feeling rejected by all the other animals, she started to feel sad and lonely. One day, with tears in her eyes, she fell asleep. When she woke up the next morning, the world around her became black and white.
To understand what happened and to bring back the bright colors into her forest, she set off in search of an explanation. On her way she meets Gaja the wise elephant who encourage her to look for the missing colors in a different place. He teaches her awareness and connects her with the most colorful place in this universe - her inner world.

The most beautiful colors we will find inside ourselves

With my picture book I try, in a simple yet profound way to bring this mindfulness to the smallest of us.
"Hidden colors" is a journey into our innermost being, in which it becomes clear that the most beautiful and brightest colors of the universe lie within ourselves and that everything we see on the outside is only a reflection of our feelings, thoughts and emotions. It is a timeless and transformative story that can also make adults think.
