What is Max Paints the House about?

Max and his friends decide to paint their house to match the sky. Little Pink chooses the rosy colours of dawn, Big Blue prefers the bright blue of daytime, and Max wants the sunny yellow of the sun. As the sky changes, so does their painting, and soon the friends are covered in splashes of colour. Then a sudden shower washes everything away. When a brilliant rainbow appears, they discover a beautiful way to combine all their ideas.
