Balada căpșunilor fără culoare

Five pale, sad strawberries live as a family. Their home is a damp forest clearing in the Rocky Mountains. Two of them set off to find the colour they lack. Their names are Capsunici and Capsunica. Their brother Capsunel stays behind. They do not tell their parents what they plan.

On their quest, they meet a mushroom named Amanita. She likes to look her best. They also come to a field of poppies. They dream of stars and meet Greieras Trubaduras. They meet a girl named Catrinel, who has magic paintbrushes. The tale shows how all three siblings gain colour.

Zully Mustafa wrote this tale for children. It blends gentle feeling with humour. The strawberries seek joy as well as colour. Anca Smarandache drew the pictures.
