Official synopsis Publisher
“While walking through a toy store, the day before today, I overheard a
crayon box with many things to say…” Once upon a time, Shane DeRolf wrote
a poem. It was a deceptively simple poem, a charming little piece that
celebrates the creation of harmony through diversity. The folks at the Ad
Council heard it–and liked it so much that they made it the theme for their
1997 National Anti-Discrimination Campaign for Children. Following on the heels
of nearly a year’s worth of televised public service announcements, Random
House is phonored to publish the picture book, illustrated in every color in
the crayon box by dazzling newcomer Michael Letzig and conveying the sublimely
simple message that when we all work together, the results are much more
interesting and colorful.
