HARDCOVER
Author: Drew Daywalt

Hilarious, inventive, and packed with personality, The Day the Crayons Quit is a modern picture book classic that turns an ordinary colouring box into an unforgettable comedy of complaints.
One day, Duncan opens his crayon box - and instead of crayons, he finds letters. Each crayon has something to say, and none of them are happy. Red is exhausted from working too hard. Blue is worn down from colouring oceans and skies. Pink just wants a chance to shine. Even Beige (not Tan, thank you very much) has had enough.
As Duncan reads through the crayon strike letters, he realises that his crayons don’t just want to be used - they want to be heard. With creativity, empathy, and a lot of imagination, Duncan comes up with a solution that just might make everyone happy.
Written by Drew Daywalt and illustrated with trademark wit and warmth by Oliver Jeffers, this wildly original story celebrates creativity, perspective-taking, and thinking outside the box.
Ideal for fans of imaginative storytelling and playful problem-solving, The Day the Crayons Quit proves that even crayons have feelings - and creativity works best when everyone gets a turn.
