A Story About Seeing in Full Color
Sometimes, the simplest stories teach the most powerful lessons. “The Day the Crayons Quit” is a wonderful tale that reminds us about the importance of empathy, listening, and unleashing our full creative potential. Here is the story.
The Crayons’ Complaints
The story opens with a boy named Leo, who, upon reaching for his crayons one day, instead discovered a mysterious stack of letters. They were all from his crayons, and they were not happy!
Red Crayon was overworked from coloring fire trucks and apples.
Blue Crayon was just a tiny stub, exhausted from coloring huge oceans and skies.
Pink Crayon was tired of only being used for princesses and wanted to color a monster for a change. Perhaps most distressed of all, the Peach Crayon was mortified because his paper wrapper had been completely peeled off!
Leo’s Creative Solution
After reading the letters, Leo felt terrible. Realizing his crayons had feelings, Leo decided to make things right. With this new understanding, he immediately began drawing one big, special picture that used every color in a new and exciting way.
He drew a big pink monster, a yellow sky, and a tiny, restful blue pond. He made sure every single crayon felt seen and important.
His teacher loved the drawing and gave him an “A” for creativity. More importantly, the crayons were happy again. They saw that Leo had listened and felt valued, ready to get back to coloring together.
