About This Book

When Duncan arrives at school one morning, he finds a stack of letters, one from each of his crayons, complaining about how he uses them. Red is tired of working so hard on holidays, beige feels overlooked, and blue needs a break - each crayon has a hilarious grievance to share.

Why We Love This

Oliver Jeffers' illustrations are genius, the letters are laugh-out-loud funny, and it sparks wonderful conversations about colors and creativity.
