Gamut the Chameleon
Gamut is a color-changing chameleon who embarks on a personal journey to rediscover his true self after realizing he changes too much to please others. In the first book, “The Chameleon Who Forgot His Colors,” Gamut forgets his original, true colors and learns, through self-reflection, that happiness comes from embracing his authentic self, rather than constantly blending in or trying to fit others’ expectations.
