Summary

This week's free story comes from the Martin & Sylvia: Saturdays! collection.
It's called "True Colors."
One autumn morning, Momma tells brother and sister that the oranges, reds and yellows of autumn leaves are actually their true colors — that the green actually masks those colors until the fall. This reminds Sylvia of something she has been masking — and gives her the courage to tell the truth.
