Colby's family has moved to a new house, and he's a little scared about going to a new school. On the first day, some kids stare and make fun of him because he looks different. When he finds the kids at school won't play with children whose skin colour is different from their own, he realises it's not going to be easy to make friends. At first he's discouraged. But soon his kitten named Fluffy inspires a creative idea that just might help him overcome his difficulty.

Colby's New Home also includes a note to parents and teachers and several extracts from Bahá’í scripture about the spiritual principle of unity in diversity.
