A crayon labeled as 'red' but colored blue faces an identity crisis. As it tries to fit in and meet expectations, it embarks on a journey of self-discovery. Will it embrace its true color and find its place in the world? This vibrant tale explores themes of identity and self-acceptance, inviting readers to question what it means to be true to oneself. Join the crayon on its colorful path to authenticity, where the stakes are as high as the courage to be different.
A blue crayon mistakenly labeled as “red” suffers an identity crisis in this picture book by the New York Times–bestselling creator of My Heart Is Like a Zoo and It’s an Orange Aardvark! Funny, insightful, and colorful, Red: A Crayon’s Story, by Michael Hall, is about being true to your inner self and following your own path despite obstacles that may come your way. Red will appeal to fans of Lois Ehlert, Eric Carle, and The Day the Crayons Quit, and makes a great gift for readers of any age!
