Coco, a curious reef crab, is fascinated by the dazzling colors of the coral reef. She wishes she could make her dull, brown shell match the reef’s brilliance. On her journey to Ňpaint’ herself, she meets fish, sea stars, and parrotfish and learns how corals get their colorsŃfrom algae living inside them. The twist? As Coco helps care for the reef by cleaning algae and tidying crevices, her own shell begins to shimmerŃcolored by the very life she nurtures. She learns that beauty often comes from what we give, not just what we take.
