Red: A Crayon's Story

Red has a bright red label, but he is, in fact, a blue crayon. His teacher tries to help him be red (let's draw strawberries!), his mother tries to help him be red by sending him out on a playdate with a yellow classmate (go draw a nice orange!), and the scissors try to help him be red by snipping his label so that he has room to breathe.

Red just can't be red, no matter how hard he tries, and it makes him feel miserable! Finally, a brand-new friend offers a brand-new perspective, and Red discovers what readers have known all along. He's blue!

This funny, thoughtful, colorful picture book is about finding the courage to be yourself! You just gotta be what you are, and the other crayons who love you will love you.
