Unwrapping Some Illustrations
The Book
This charming book documents the life journey of a green crayon and its owner.
"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 reader is invited to join them on their journey of creativity. As life progresses Green shrinks small and smaller but is never out of reach of his owner's loving hands. He definitely is the favourite colour in her crayon box above all the other colours present.
The now grown-up girl has a child of her own and is able to retain Green even longer by blending the remains of her old worn-out crayons together and making them into a beautiful candle for her son to enjoy.
I love this heartwarming sweet story and the illustrations are lovely to behold and very kid-friendly. The book lends itself to discussing colours, the aging process and recycling. This colourful story will have you re-assessing the value and love of the crayons in your own crayon box. What"s your favourite colour? I highly recommend it.
