Once Scarlet lived in a home filled with colour, where she painted with Grandma Ruby.  Green meadows, blue wild flowers, and yellow ducklings danced across the canvas.  But not anymore.  When Scarlet moves to the city, her days are no longer filled with the joys that she's used to. Instead, darkness dominates her world. The grey seems never-ending, and frightening shadows creep through the cracks in the walls.  That is, until she discovers something.  The people of Scarlet's new world are not as frightening as they seem, and through the power of connection and some enchanting gifts, colour slowly returns to her world.
