I am looking for a children’s picture book that I bought in the 1990’s. I think published in Canada. It was about colorful wacky people who move into a town that doesn’t like them because they are different. The townspeople are snarky and grumpy. In the end the wacky colorful people win them over. It’s about discrimination.
