This book was written during a time when people were separated by the color of their skin. In the book, the two main characters are two different colors, yet they are still best friends. They also go to school with children of many different colors. Initially their parents do not recognize them because they became a different color, green. This color was not acceptable to the parents until they realize what had happened. The message of tolerance and acceptance of cultural diversity is delivered through the blending of the colors by the parents themselves in the end and by how children of all colors can play and go to school together and be happy.
