But when the day arrives, he's just plain old black and white. So Tapir sets off with his friends Frog, Squirrel and Mousedeer to find a magical waterfall that will make him colourful, bold and bright. On a journey of steep slopes, pointy claws and raging rivers, Tapir's own talents for climbing, camouflage and running underwater save the day, and he discovers that the colours he wanted were within him all along. Written in rhyme by Mellissa Saw, with lush illustrations of rainforest plants and creatures by Cecillia Hidayat.
