Gub the gecko longtime enjoyed being the center of attention. His skin’s vibrant colors arranged in beautiful patterns was the admiration of all. When several new-born geckoes arrived, however, these adorable little babies quickly became the focus. Sad and frustrated, Gub walked out of the house alone.

Wandering amidst the vast garden Gub enjoyed sharing his colorful scales to his many friends. With time the patterns began to fade, but Gub soon discovered something new arising in himself.

Everybody notices sparkles in his eyes, a wellspring of delight rising up from deep within his soul. He rarely becomes sad nor frustrated. Gub now understands that happiness comes from the heart, from sharing, not pretty pattern nor praises from others.

Gecko Gub and his beautiful pattern received the Outstanding Book Award Type of book for young children, ages 3-5 years. From the Basic Education Commission Ministry of Education 2010
