Red: A Crayon's Story by Michael Hall

Red: A Crayon’s Story by Michael Hall Is a touching picture book that deals with adaptability, identity, self-awareness and acceptance.

Red’s label says red but no matter how hard he tries he can create nothing red. “All the art supplies wanted to help. The masking tape thought he was broken inside. The Scissors thought his label was too tight.”

But Red’s new friend, Berry, suggests he casts aside his label, and this opens a whole new world to Red.
