Red is always the shining crayon. Brown is a little jealous of the crayon because he feels like he is not capable of doing everything that red and the other crayons can do. Brown feels like the outcast of the crayon box, until one of his crayon friends shows him how truly special he is.

I love Julia Cook's stories as they are great resources to use with children. As a Child Psychologist I am often working with younger children who have difficulties making friends and/or who see themselves as not fitting in - being different. This is a lovely story that addresses both. There is

lots to talk about with the children after you've finished the story, but as always there is a tips page for parents/teachers - they make great handouts for the session. I totally got Red being so popular and I loved Brown in the end.
