Welcome back, crayons, except… they are gone! Our story begins with an empty crayon box, no wax left in sight, and no sign of where they went—until we start getting letters from our colorful friends and the new adventures they have embarked on. From living out dreams of being a firefighter to becoming a board game piece or even finding your long-lost twin, the crayons have again taken over my heart with the friends they just can’t wait to tell us about. Dare I say best crayons book yet, get ready to obsess over these guys!
