The Gray City

The Gray City is a story about a child who moves to a city without color. Grayness and unhappiness prevail in the city. Everywhere Robin goes, she wears a yellow raincoat. 

In her attic room, Robin mourns how gray everything is as she looks out onto the city. Where has all the color gone? she wonders. 

 

The first day of school, while everyone else colored pictures in gray, she colored a picture in colorful colors. Due to this, she gets in trouble and has to go to detention. 

As everyone stands on the corner with gray umbrellas, she stands in her yellow raincoat. 

It is impossible for the gray city to prevent the most beautiful rainbow of colors from forming in the sky. As she stared at the rainbow's colors, Robin wondered where it ended. To find out where the rainbow ended, she followed it. 

Ultimately, the rainbow came to an end in a most peculiar place. Eventually, it led to a library. Robin entered. There were only a few gray books on the shelves. Robin's yellow raincoat attracted the librarian's attention, so she decided to tell her the secret of the library. A fantastic hidden room filled with colorful books would teach Robin all about the origins of color. 

Robin would take this knowledge and help to change Gray City.
