Description

Red's factory-applied label clearly says that he is red, but despite the best efforts of his teacher, fellow crayons, and family members, he cannot seem to do anything right until a new friend offers a fresh perspective.

Quick Summary

A crayons-filled world takes center stage in this heartwarming tale about a red crayon who simply cannot be red no matter how hard he tries. Kids will giggle at the Crayola classroom chaos and feel their hearts swell when a purple crayon becomes the friend who helps Red discover his true color. If your kid likes "The Day the Crayons Quit" with its playful pretend-world humor, they'll adore this sweet twist on self-acceptance. Perfect for kindergarten through third graders who are learning about being themselves and treating others kindly.
