When Green arrives in a crayon box as a present to a little girl, he has
no idea of the impact he will have on her life in small but profound and
meaningful ways.
The Life of a Crayon is a colorful story (ages 4-8) about a girl and
her crayon who grow up together and draw the world around them. When a
little girl receives a box of crayons for her birthday, Green becomes
her favorite.
Over the years, as the girl creates art and projects and greeting cards,
Green learns new skills and important lessons alongside her. Perhaps
most importantly, Green fills her--and others'--worlds with color and
the emotions it evokes, and in doing so leaves a legacy that is vast and
meaningful.
The story can just be an engaging and thought-provoking adventure on its
own, or it can help kids and families cope with change, the challenges
of growing up, and even loss as this book touches on themes like life
cycles, impermanence, and connection.
