🎨 How to color it

Color the capybara warm chestnut brown, the cattails cocoa brown, the tall leaves bright green, and the smooth rock pebble gray. Use chunky crayons to fill the big belly, head, and side shapes first; it is okay if little hands go over the bold lines. For a special touch, make the fallen leaf golden yellow so it looks important beside the capybara’s toes.

The story behind this coloring page

The Leaf That Said Go — Psst. By the pond bank, Zuzu kept one yellow leaf under one paw. Read the full story →

Psst. By the pond bank, Zuzu kept one yellow leaf under one paw. It went crinkle-crinkle, and Zuzu wanted to sit past the tall grass, where the sun made warm spots.

The open path felt big. Plip went a pebble. Hush went the cattails. Zuzu touched the leaf and whispered, “Go.” Then—step, sit, smile. Nothing scary came. Ever since, capybaras stop by paths first, just like Zuzu, checking the warm world with a brave little smile. Can you find the leaf that said go?
