Zuzu
human boy · 8 years old
Curious, brave and full of big ideas. Sometimes rushes in before thinking, then learns to slow down.

Meet the friends
In ZuzuLand, colours come from friendship. When friends help each other a Zuzu Spark appears, and every episode ends with the Spark of the day going into the Rainbow Jar at the treehouse. When friends quarrel, colours fade to grey until they make up.
