The Day the Crayons Quit Children's Picture Book

A box of crayons has a lot to say in The Day the Crayons Quit, a funny, colorful picture book that celebrates creativity and self-expression. Duncan is ready to color, but his crayons have left him letters explaining why they’ve had enough.

Blue needs a break from coloring water, Black wants to do more than outline, and Orange and Yellow can’t agree on the true color of the sun. Written by Drew Daywalt and illustrated by Oliver Jeffers, this playful story turns read-aloud time into a chance to laugh, imagine, and see things from a different perspective.
