Debut author Drew Daywalt and international bestseller Oliver Jeffers team up to create a colourful solution to a crayon-based crisis in this playful, imaginative story that will have children laughing and playing with their crayons in a whole new way. Poor Duncan just wants to colour in. But when he opens his box of crayons, he only finds letters, all saying the same thing: We quit! Beige is tired of playing second fiddle to Brown, Blue needs a break from colouring in all that water, while Pink just wants to be used. Green has no complaints, but Orange and Yellow are no longer speaking to each other. The battle lines have been drawn. What is Duncan to do?
\”Drew Daywalt has come up with a delightfully different idea for this picture book. Duncan wants to do some colouring but when he goes to take out his crayons he finds a pile of letters all voicing the crayons complaints about the way they are being used. Red writes that he is worn out with being used so much to colour fire engines, Santas, apples and strawberries. Grey is tired of colouring huge animals like elephants and whales. White feels ignored while Black is sick of only doing outlines. Blue is so short and stubby that it desperately needs a break. And poor pink is hurt because it hasnt been used all year. This is great fun but it also makes us think about how we use colours and our preferences. The letters inspire Duncan to do a very bright lively picture using every single one of his crayons in ways that would make each of them much happier.\”
