Why is Hugh Blue?

Hugh is blue because of his hue, and all the other hippos say, "Eew!" But Hugh enjoys his own hobbies and makes a new friend. Soon, the other hippos learn that it's fun to be different, too!

Through Hugh's story, children learn that being different is something to celebrate, not shun. They learn to accept themselves and others for who they are, regardless of their color, interests, or preferences. Watch as the illustrations progress from dull and faded colors to brighter and brighter hues as Hugh allows his own light to shine and helps others to do the same! Reading the story aloud to children will aide adults with discussions that help shape positive interactions with others, and children will fall in love with the adorable animals.
