Description
“Even as walking through a toy store, the previous day, I overheard a
crayon box with many things to mention…” Once upon a time, Shane DeRolf wrote
a poem. It was once 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 such a lot that they made it the theme for their
1997 National Anti-Discrimination Campaign for Children. Following at the heels
of nearly a year’s worth of televised public service announcements, Random
House is phonored to publish the image book, illustrated in each and every color in
the crayon box by dazzling newcomer Michael Letzig and conveying the sublimely
simple message that once we all work together, the results are much more
interesting and colorful.
