A mysterious stranger, dressed in multicolored clothing, visits a village where everything is painted white. With the help of the sun and moon, she teaches the townspeople to enjoy a rainbow of colors. Panoramic yet childlike, the illustrations lend a timeless quality to this quirky but abstruse tale about the merits of tolerance and the beauty of variety.
