What is Green Hippo about?

Green Hippo feels disheartened when told that green hippos don't exist. His friends—Frog, Elephant, and Giraffe—try to console him, but he dismisses their words, believing they can't understand his plight. Wandering alone, he discovers the vibrant colours of the meadow and realises that being different is beautiful. Eager to share his newfound joy, he returns to his friends, who have a delightful surprise awaiting him. This story celebrates individuality and the beauty of diversity.
