Marco is a kind and curious kid,
and he’s searching for the

MULTICOLOR TREE.


In the Emotion Jungle, where wild rivers flow,
to uncover the secret he longs to know,

He must answer the question:
“Where does it grow?”

As he’s walking along,
Marco hears a bright song.


What could it be?


A fun, SUNNY PARROT in a tall tree!


“What are you looking for?” Parrot asks.
“For the Tree of Many Colors, the MULTICOLOR TREE.”

“Can I join you?” asks Parrot, “I’m HAPPY!
It’s a beautiful day. We’ll find it fast!”

Marco answers “Yes!” and Parrot joins the quest…

Soon, they both see a big bush nearby quaking.


What could it be?


A PURPLE LION lies there, beneath those big leaves!
Marco asks, “What’s wrong, little lion? Your tail is shaking.”

“A few weeks ago, a small bee stung my snout!
Then my nose swelled up huge like a big, puffy ball!
It hurt me so much, I let out a loud shout!
So, I won’t leave this spot—not ever, at all!”

“I have a special spray that can keep bees away.”
Marco says,
“Would you wear it, and join us on our little trek?”
Lion, though SCARED, says…
“Yes.”

Now they’re back to the search 
for the MULTICOLOR TREE.

After a while, they hear a low rumble
that explodes into a GREAT GROWL!


What could it be?


A RED GORILLA jumps out,
so stout and strong!

Yelling, “What are you doing here?
Move it along!”

"W-w-we're looking for
the MULTICOLOR TREE—
Why are you upset?" Marco asks.

"Someone ate my banana,
the last of the bunch!
Now I'm so, so MAD!

That was MY LUNCH!”

"How unfair!" Parrot says.
"I’d feel upset, too."

"YES! It makes me feel ANGRY.
I feel my heart racing, my face getting hot—
My chest feels so tight, and my stomach’s a knot!"

Gorilla relaxes a bit, after speaking his thoughts.

“An adventure might help you feel better,” says Marco.
You could breathe the fresh air and enjoy this nice weather.”

Now there’s four of them walking and looking together.

Stepping over roots and through drooping vines,
the boy and his friends hear quiet whines.

They stop to listen carefully—


What could it be?


A young BLUE TIGER with tears in his eyes.

“What’s wrong, little tiger? Why do you cry?”
Asks Marco, as Tiger lets out a soft sigh.
“My friends all ignore me. They don’t want to play.
So here I am crying. I’m staying away.”

“I can see how they’ve made you feel bad.”
Marco says, and Tiger adds,
“Yes, sad, very SAD!”

“Want to talk about it
and walk with us
as we search for the
MULTICOLOR TREE?”

Now there’s five on the quest, 
each as eager as the rest.

A little way further, they hear a soft voice
calling from the base of a tree.


What could it be?


It’s a little GREEN FROG with a CALMING smile!
“Can I help you?” Frog asks, “What do you seek?”

They all answer at once, “The MULTICOLOR TREE!”


"Ah! You've arrived! I'm so pleased that you're here.
To find it, just know that LOVE is the key.
I can guide you, so please listen carefully…


Stand in a circle, with hands out wide,
and hold hands with your neighbor on either side.


With your eyes softly closed, 

breathe in 

deep and 

slow…


Name that feeling inside that you hold.

Imagine its shape and its color, so bright.

It’s okay to feel it—it’s powerful, right?


Take another deep breath… Watch that feeling go out—

Invite LOVE and COMPASSION inside,

and let LOVE live within like a warm, glowing light…

Our feelings pass by, 

like the clouds up above…

Now see that you’re CALM, and you’re glowing with LOVE!”

As they open their eyes, they all gasp in delight,
For the tree they surrounded now shines!


With colorful feelings, emotions so bright—


It’s the MULTICOLOR TREE:

What a magical sight!
