My Favorite Children's Book

It is very hard to pick a favorite book!  There are so many wonderful books out there.  One of my favorites would have to be The Crayon Box that Talked by Shane DeRolf.  This is a delightful book that tells the story of crayons and their differences and similarities.  It is a simple read that is easy and enjoyable for all ages and yet it manages to deal with the serious topic of acceptance and love for others.  I have had the privilege of reading it to my grandchildren, my Sunday school class, and the children at my center.  I also used it as an icebreaker at our first in-service training this year.  I love the message of love and hope that it conveys.  I also love the colorful illustrations.  I hope you will check it out!

  1. Monette,

    I have never heard of this book, but it will be something I would like to look up and read. It sounds like it would be a great addition to our curriculum for our Friends and Family unit, where we talk a lot about diversity. Thanks for sharing!
